Why Should You Collaborate With Bay and Bay?
If you’re searching for a trucking company that champions sustainability on the roads, look no further than Bay and Bay. We take immense pride in being a leader in sustainable trucking practices and are proud to be SmartWay certified. Our mission is to support shippers in reducing their carbon footprint while optimizing their transportation networks.
Bay and Bay’s Aerodynamic Equipment
At Bay and Bay, we leave no stone unturned in our commitment to adopting the latest technologies and continually investing in new trailers and tractors designed with aerodynamics in mind. Why focus on aerodynamics? Because it significantly enhances fuel efficiency, leading to outstanding vehicle performance.
Our state-of-the-art equipment not only meets but exceeds expectations in achieving lower emissions and improved fuel efficiency. Each new truck is equipped with automatic tire inflation systems, designed to maintain optimal tire pressure. This innovative feature can save up to 100 gallons of fuel annually while reducing tire wear and minimizing maintenance needs. In fact, proper tire inflation helps eliminate approximately 1 metric ton of carbon dioxide emissions each year.
Furthermore, thanks to our SmartWay Certified Aerodynamic Equipment, you will save fuel when aerodynamic drag is minimized and maintain smoother airflow. As far as tractors are concerned, you will witness the addition of cab extenders, integrated roof fairings, side fairings, and aerodynamic bumpers. In trailers, you will find aerodynamic enhancements such as CARB Compliant Solution, EDGE Topkit, and EPA SmartWay certification as well.
Educating Drivers at Bay and Bay
We educate our truck drivers regarding reducing consumption of the fuel which results in decreasing the carbon footprint and optimizes fuel consumption. Recently, we achieved a remarkable milestone by increasing our trucking fleet’s miles per gallon (MPG) by 50%. Additionally, we successfully reduced idle time by 4% and enhanced the use of cruise control, achieving a fleet-wide increase of 10%. These improvements not only contribute to lower fuel costs but also support our commitment to sustainable practices.
In addition, to leave a stronger mark in sustainable trucking, we have purchased auxiliary power units that assist in providing electricity to the cab, engine shut-off systems with an automatic programming arrangement, and direct-fired heaters. This technology reduces air pollution, cuts more than 9 metric tons of carbon dioxide per truck annually, and saves fuel costs.
