Alliance Shippers Inc. Honored as Green Supply Chain Partner Once Again

Englewood Cliffs, NJ — Alliance Shippers Inc., a leading provider of global logistics services, has been selected by Inbound Logistics Magazine as a 2020 Green Supply Chain Partner. Alliance Shippers Inc. has received this honor yearly since 2013.

“We are constantly striving to move in the direction of clean, green transportation solutions,” said Larry Henry, VP of Logistics & Special Projects at Alliance Shippers Inc., “and this honor is a testament to that sustainable mindset.”

Alliance Shippers Inc. recently added 100 energy-efficient 53’ refrigerated containers to increase its fleet to nearly 1,700 CARB-compliant trailers. Our fleet will be a total of 1,800 between refrigerated trailers and refrigerated containers. This purchase included refrigeration units with electric standby. This technology allows units to be plugged in to an electric source while sitting in a yard or at a dock. This reduces the need to power the refrigeration unit with “diesel power”.

Applying these advanced technologies to its refrigerated fleet allows Alliance Shippers Inc. to move customer cargo using the nation’s railroad system, which reduces CO² emissions by approximately 67% when compared to transporting those same goods via highway trucks.

Those selected for Inbound Logistics’ annual G75, a curated list of 75 companies, “go above and beyond to help shippers maintain sustainable, eco-friendly supply chain operations,” according to the publication. “These companies have spent years developing and implementing best practices to ensure the footprint they leave on the world is a positive one.”
