Langford Inc. is a for-hire long-haul carrier servicing 48 states, Ontario and Quebec, Canada, that specializes in multi-stop deliveries of customized building components.

Auxiliary power units (APU’s) have been installed on all company and owner-operator equipment, resulting in annual fuel savings of over 15,000 gallons of diesel. Conventional tires are being replaced with fuel saving tires and company truck speeds are governed and monitored closely. Testing alternative fuels like hydrogen and bio-diesel is another part of Langford Inc’s environmental program.

With a firm belief in environmental issues, Langford’s office staff and drivers are trained to lessen the amount of fuel used and eliminate unnecessary idling.

“Joining the SmartWay Transport Partnership has opened my eyes to the environmental impact made by my company. This learning experience has made me take a hard look at the total impact my industry creates and the urgent need for large scale improvement.”
