Digital freight network Convoy recently released its biannual sustainability in trucking snapshot report that surveyed small and mid-size trucking companies across the U.S. to get a picture of sustainability efforts in the industry.

As fuel prices have risen through 2022, fleets are feeling more pressure to improve fuel efficiency or even look toward alternative fuels to curb rising diesel bills.

Jason and Matt are joined by Kiana Van Waes, Convoy's corporate sustainability analyst, who talks about the findings from Convoy's survey conducted in August, including how fleets view empty miles, climate change, emerging alt fuel technologies, and more.
