Building Business Core Strength

TransAm takes a proactive approach to ensure the long-term viability of the company by optimizing resource needs and reducing environmental impacts without compromising service quality, competitiveness, and profitability. TransAm employees are encouraged to embrace creative thinking and focus on the future as much as they focus on the present. By incorporating the innovative ideas of its employees, TransAm ensures long-term business sustainability.

Finding the Right Path

TransAm implemented an intelligent route solution program to reduce the number of out of route miles generated by manual trip planning. With the reduction in unnecessary miles, TransAm's drivers complete trips and are dispatched on other loads more quickly. Additionally, one of the "green" benefits includes a reduction in the amount of diesel fuel used per trip. In conjunction with the route solution, TransAm drivers are also provided with a fuel solution. This solution locates the most economical fuel locations along the driver's route and calculates the optimal amount of fuel to purchase at each location.

A History of Innovation

TransAm has a proud history of trying industry innovations, including auto-shift transmissions, auxiliary power units and the most aerodynamic trucks.

TransAm's most recent leap to the technological forefront is the purchase of 1,050 Kenworth T660 and T770 tractors featuring the PACCAR MX engine. This engine meets the Environmental Protection Agency's 2010 diesel engine emissions regulations and utilizes Selective Catalytic Reduction to allow the engine to function at higher and more optimal combustion temperatures, providing increased fuel efficiency and power.

TransAm also recently adopted the use of aerodynamic trailer side skirts which have a proven 7% savings in fuel costs.
