2. Why Go Green? As concern mounts over rising fuel prices, long-term availability of energy, and global warming, companies are turning their attention to areas where opportunities to conserve energy and reduce carbon emissions can be found.

3. Green Is Gr$$n At the smartest companies today, boosting energy efficiency is no longer an initiative motivated solely by a sense of civic duty Rather, companies are finding that there is a solid business case for building a more energy- efficient company In addition to reducing emissions, any fuel- saving effort significantly reduces spending, especially as fuel prices rise

4. Our Efforts Truck Configuration Driver Behavior EPA SmartWay® Certified Tractors Hybrid Electric Technology

5. Wide-base tires Automatic tire inflation systems Automatic engine shutdown APUs for long-haul trucks Speed controls Truck Configuration

6. Wide-Base Tires Began purchasing in 2004, now 100% on tractors and working towards trailers 4%-10% fuel consumption savings* Total fuel purchased for 2009: 1,094,120 gallons Assume 4% savings 1,094,120 gallons * 4% savings = 43,765 gallons saved 43,765 gallons * $3.069 (National Diesel Index, 04/12/2010)^ = $134,314.17 saved annually * Obtained from Michelin X One testing ^ Obtained from the Energy Information Administration

9. Automatic Tire Inflation Automatically monitors trailer tire pressure Adds air as necessary to maintain optimal pressure at all times System has an indicator light to notify the driver and mechanic that the system was activated Approximately 3% fuel consumption savings Factory-installed on all trailers purchased since 2005

11. APUs Our long-haul drivers must idle – they live in their trucks Any idling solution must accommodate the drivers needs Auxiliary Power Units (APUs) allow drivers to use heaters, air-conditioners, and other conveniences without idling the truck We have installed Idle-Free APUs in 26 of our 30 sleeper trucks
