Shipping Emissions and Packaging Options
Measure shipment emissions on the lanes you already book. Right-size packaging and consolidate freight when volume supports it. Sales confirms which reports and options apply to your account.
Report What Moved, Then Change How It Moves
Sustainability work starts with the shipments you already tender: origin, destination, service, and weight. Emissions reports use those booking fields so finance and operations see the same numbers.
Packaging changes cut dimensional weight charges and wasted void fill. Consolidated LTL or truckload reduces the number of partial loads when you have enough volume on a lane. Neither replaces a temperature or transit commitment written into the product or buyer promise.

Options Available on Qualifying Accounts
Availability depends on volume, lanes, and contract. Ask sales before promising a report or mode to a buyer.
- Emissions reports
- Shipment-level or period summaries based on booked service, weight, and lane. Used for internal reporting — not a substitute for third-party audits.
- Right-size packaging
- Packaging Advisor helps pick box size before the label. Lower dimensional weight reduces both cost and empty space on the trailer.
- Consolidated freight
- When volume supports it, combine outbound into fewer LTL or truckload tenders instead of many partial loads.
- Returns inbound
- Prepaid return labels cut failed first-mile attempts. Route volume returns to a fulfillment building when that reduces empty miles.
Tools That Affect Footprint and Cost
Before you ship
Check Packaging Advisor and Restricted Items. Avoid oversize boxes and undeclared hazardous goods that force reclass or return-to-sender.
Packaging AdvisorHow freight leaves
Ground for day-definite cartons when Express is not required. LTL and truckload when pallets beat many parcel labels on the same lane.
