Roadway participates in programs and processes sponsored by our parent company, YRC Worldwide, for protecting the environment.
We effectively and aggressively promote pollution prevention, waste reduction, and conservation across our daily operations.
All of our tires are disposed of through EPA-registered disposal agents. Many tires go to recycling companies for further use as energy sources, playground mats and chips, mulch for landscaping, and road construction material.
ULSD (ultra-low-sulfur diesel) is used at all YRCW internal fueling locations. This helps with cleaner emissions of NOx (nitrogen oxides) and particulate matter.
We are also introducing LED (low-emission diesel) tractors to our fleet in 2007.

Be Prepared. You have to be ready for what you may encounter.
This may be common sense, but how many of us jump in our vehicle when the weather looks nice and later find ourselves driving in bad weather?
Some suggestions to carry to help you be prepared: extra clothing (loose layers, extra gloves, rain gear); flashlight in the glove box; blanket, food, and water; bag of sand or salt and extra washer fluid; windshield scraper; jumper cables, tire chains or traction mats; at least a half tank of gas at all times during the winter season; plan long trips carefully--are you aware of what weather conditions may you encounter?

March Tip: Stacking strength is lost when pallets are improperly loaded. Misalignment loses up to 30% of carton strength.
Cartons should be stacked squarely on the skid, with no overhang. Box flaps and corrugations should face up. Make the top surface as flat as possible.
Packaging your freight properly is the best way to minimize freight damage. The packaging you select must be appropriate for your product.
See the Guide to Shipping and Receiving for more info.
