Save money and the planet at the same time.
NEXT is committed to sustainable freight movement and has already prevented 1,360 tons of CO2 emissions since 2021. The key to achieving this is by minimizing empty miles driven by carriers. This is done through algorithmic load pairing, which optimizes round trip and dual transaction jobs to complete the maximum number of loads while reducing fuel consumption.
Currently, over 50% of our loads are bundled, a 66% increase since implementing the load bundling two years ago. Their target is to bundle 80% of loads by the end of 2023.
In addition to load bundling technology, NEXT’s terminal partnerships have helped reduce empty miles by 33%. This is achieved through improved outgating productivity and collaboration. Their ATLAS TMS and carrier mobile app further contribute to sustainability by handling free flows, enhancing route management, and reducing fuel usage during shipments.
NEXTpedited, launched in 2022, extends their sustainability efforts to their steamship line partners. By providing priority berthing at partner terminals, they eliminate up to 30 days of idle emissions per vessel per year.
