How-to-Guide for Our Carriers: Becoming SmartWay Certified

At Fetch Freight, we are committed to sustainability and reducing our environmental impact, and we encourage our carrier partners to join us by becoming EPA SmartWay certified. Partnering with SmartWay not only enhances fuel efficiency and reduces emissions but also demonstrates a shared commitment to responsible, eco-friendly transportation practices, which could open up the door to additional business for you. To become EPA SmartWay certified, at no cost to you:  

  1. Visit the SmartWay Website to access program information and resources: https://www.epa.gov/smartway 
  1. Complete the free online application to register as a SmartWay partner, selecting the carrier category that fits your business.  
  1. Collect and submit data on your fuel consumption, mileage, and emissions through the SmartWay Carrier Tool, which helps track and calculate environmental performance.
  1. Ensure you meet or exceed SmartWay performance standards based on fuel efficiency and emissions reductions. This includes maintaining accurate records and adhering to SmartWay’s reporting requirements.
  1. Once the data is verified, your company will receive SmartWay certification, allowing you to use the SmartWay logo and be listed as a certified partner. If the data doesn’t meet SmartWay’s certification standards, you’ll be well-equipped to improve for future approval. 

Don’t forget to re-certify annually by submitting updated performance data to maintain your SmartWay status and ensure ongoing compliance with program standards. Fetch Freight is here to support our carriers in their businesses, every step of the way.
