Reducing CO₂ in Freight: Linic’s Smart Investments in Fleet Efficiency

At Linic Freight, sustainability isn’t a side project, it’s built into how we operate, every mile and every load. As an asset-backed, nationwide logistics partner, we’re reducing emissions, cutting fuel use, and modernizing freight through smarter decisions and strategic upgrades.

In 2025, those efforts are delivering measurable impact, not just in gallons saved, but in stronger performance, happier drivers, and more resilient supply chains.

A Foundation of Smart, Purpose-Driven Logistics

Sustainability starts with smarter infrastructure. Over the last five years, Linic has:

• Invested in a younger, fuel-efficient Volvo fleet
• Built an in-house maintenance team to improve uptime and reduce third-party reliance
• Implemented Fleetio to digitize and streamline vehicle maintenance and health tracking

These foundational moves enhanced operational control and reliability, while laying the groundwork for long-term emissions reduction.

Fuel-Saving Fleet Upgrades with Real Environmental Impact

In 2025, Linic began rolling out two key technologies across our transportation network:

• FlowBelow Aerofenders – Now installed on 70 trucks, these aerodynamic enhancements reduce drag and improve fuel efficiency. Projected annual savings: 32,000+ gallons of diesel.
• Samsara Telematics – With real-time coaching and route optimization, Samsara empowers smarter driving behavior. Projected annual savings: 75,000 gallons of diesel.

Together, these solutions are expected to eliminate over 107,000 gallons of fuel consumption and 1,000+ metric tons of CO₂ emissions annually,  equivalent to taking 240+ passenger vehicles off the road.

Powered by Strategic Partnerships

Linic’s sustainability progress is fueled by trusted partners:

• Volvo Trucks – Supporting our move to a modern, reliable fleet with lower emissions
• Fleetio – Enabling predictive maintenance and extending asset lifespan
• FlowBelow – Delivering aerodynamic tech that generates immediate fuel savings
• Samsara – Providing the visibility, analytics, and coaching tools to reduce waste in motion

These tools are fully integrated into Linic’s asset-backed freight model, ensuring real-time visibility, actionable insights, and service that scales with purpose.

• Improved driver satisfaction thanks to fewer breakdowns and smarter tech
• Reduced downtime and repair costs through digital maintenance and in-house service
• Greater efficiency and control through integrated systems and fewer handoffs
• Increased value for ESG-focused customers seeking partners that align with their goals
