Adhering to our ISO 14001 certified Environmental Management System, our operations demonstrate a strong commitment to sustainable practices by minimizing environmental impact and continuously improving performance. This commitment is evident in our fleet management strategy, which includes operating equipment fueled by Compressed Natural Gas (CNG), a cleaner-burning alternative that significantly reduces emissions of carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and particulate matter compared to traditional diesel. Further strengthening our sustainability efforts is the daily purchase of R99 renewable diesel, a fuel derived from 100% sustainable materials that can serve as a low-carbon replacement for conventional petroleum diesel. These combined initiatives—enforced through rigorous environmental standards—drive operational efficiency, decrease our carbon footprint, and support a more sustainable energy future.
At Pride, we believe in doing things the right way. We have always focused on our employees and empowering them to do the right thing. These habits find their way into every aspect of our business. We have persevered through many market cycles and challenges and we have grown stronger through the years. The marketplace will continue to refine us and we will continue to improve as a company.
Pride has always sought out new ways to be efficient. We constantly test new technology to help us streamline our business. While we have always maintained a very modern fleet, Pride also continually searches out new technology, geared towards safety, fuel, and time efficiency. We have invested in our company terminal to make it a comfortable place to conduct business. We appreciate the fact that we have a responsibility to future generations.
Pride has always focused on providing a safe working environment for our employees and our business partners. We want all our employees, as well as the motoring public, to return home safely to their families. Pride was an early adopter of ELD's (electronic logging device) and has also been using collision mitigation technology as long as it’s been available. We have had numerous employees recognized for their outstanding safety records throughout our 40+-year history. Our industry-leading drivers have hundreds of millions of safe miles under their belts. These safety-focused values drive us in the security of our people and the freight we haul.
