Seattle, WA, Nov. 12, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) awarded LTI, Inc. with its fifth SmartWay Excellence Award on Nov. 5. The award recognizes LTI, Inc. and its Milky Way division<\/a> as one of North America\u2019s most efficient and lowest emitting tanker fleets<\/a>. The SmartWay Excellence Award is reserved for the top performing SmartWay Partners and is the EPA\u2019s highest recognition for demonstrated leadership in freight supply chain energy and environmental performance.<\/p>\n

\n Lynden Transport<\/a> also earned a SmartWay High Performer Award<\/a> for operating efficiencies in its flatbed and reefer fleets.
