That can sum up the perspective of Matt McLelland, the director of innovation at truckload carrier Covenant Logistics Group. From his perch, McLelland has seen the coming of requirements that carriers will be facing in order to meet environmental standards that unlike the past won’t be coming top-down from a government regulator. Instead, they’ll be coming bottom-up from shippers that are implementing policies on sustainability and environmental goals and expect their carriers to meet certain standards or at least show they’re on the way to getting there.
