Sustainable Solutions

Our sustainability efforts today deliver a cleaner world tomorrow. That’s why we choose equipment that meets the standards of our environmental partnerships. Our late-model equipment improves our operating efficiency and on-time performance while reducing our carbon footprint. Our diesel consumption is reduced with lightweight, speed-governed equipment and low-rolling resistance tires. Our equipment has also reduced greenhouse gases with improved aerodynamics and the latest in hot/cold air technologies to reduce vehicle idling. This is a testament to our commitment to deliver excellence without compromising the safety and health of our employees and community.

I started working for Tradewinds a month and a half ago and the people there are so cool it’s like a family not a company. They treat you with respect and kindness, why on earth didn’t I apply sooner but I’m here now and I love it here.

I don’t think it gets any better in transportation, in particular, or in business, in general. Great people, who really care about their employees and contractors. As an old coach, I believe teamwork is a beautiful thing – Tradewinds excels at it!

Overhead Door has been doing business with our Partner Tradewinds Transportation for over 16 years now and the staff and drivers are very professional and polite. The drivers represent our company on the delivery’s just like if they were ours. The equipment is always clean and safe to load our products on.
