Jacksonville, Fla.
Number of employees:
72
Crowley’s regional trucking operation, Crowley Trucking, Inc.,
has 72 drivers operating 56 tractors out of three Crowley terminals
in Pennsauken, NJ, Jacksonville, FL and Port Everglades, FL. Trucks
operating from the Pennsauken terminal run routes in the Northeast
from Maine to Virginia. The Jacksonville terminal operates in north
Florida and southern Georgia while the Port Everglades terminal truckers
operate in south Florida. The company operates with common carrier
and contract authority.
Its parent company, Crowley Liner Services, Inc. provides shipping
services with nearly 30 oceangoing barges and ships, and has more than
34,000 trailers and containers to serve shippers importing and exporting
cargo between the United States, Puerto Rico, the Bahamas, the Caribbean,
Dominican Republic, Haiti, Cuba and Central America
Crowley’s primary emphasis is on reducing truck idling times.
The company continually looks at ways to cut engine idling through
driver awareness while investigating auxiliary power sources to keep
drivers cool in the summer and warm in the winter when their engines
are turned off. Crowley plans to achieve fuel and emission reductions
by looking at various tires and how they are inflated.
The company will strongly encourage its trucking partners, with whom
they contract for supplemental trucking services, to join the SmartWay
program.
“Anything we can do to reduce emissions and conserve fuel
will have a positive impact on our employees, customers, communities
in which we do business, and the world in general. We
felt it was important to take a leadership position on this issue
and join the SmartWay Transport Partnership.”
— Maureen
Cunningham, Crowley’s vice president of operations in Jacksonville
