Our Empty Miles Promise 
TQL is committed to a reduction of 45 million empty miles by 2025.
The transportation sector is the largest contributor to greenhouse gas emissions1.
Leveraging TQL’s proprietary technology and carrier network of 160,000+, we are committed to eliminating 45 million empty miles, or miles driven by carriers that are not hauling any freight, by 2025.
We offer multiple modes and services that reduce emissions, use less fuel and slash the number of empty miles driven. We focus on environmental sustainability through industry groups and certifications, operational efforts and collaboration with our customers and carriers.
