Driving for Clean Air

Our Commitment to a Sustainable Environment

Delivering outstanding transportation solutions at the right time every time includes our commitment to Sustainability. As a responsible corporate citizen, SJ Transportation recognizes the importance of protecting our natural resources and we strive to protect the environment in our terminal operations and our fleet through conservation and innovation.

In our terminal and vehicle maintenance operations SJ continually looks for environmentally friendly products and practices including, recycling, reuse and reduction of waste. Innovation and integrity are Core Values that each employee applies to our Sustainability Commitment.

In our Fleet Operations we continually attempt to increase MPG and reduce the amount of diesel emissions. SJ is continually upgrading our fleet to include the newest and best engine technology in an effort to run as clean as possible. The introduction of Diesel Exhaust Fluid into our engines is one example of technology that protects our air by reducing the emission of Nitrogen Oxides. Additionally, through the use of dispatch technology we monitor idle time, miles per gallon and miles run in an effort to maximize fuel usage and reduce overall emissions.

Old-School Meets Hi-Tech

SJ Transportation has and offers to customers advanced technological systems and functionality for a wide range of logistical operations. Our system infrastructure includes TMW Suite, Transman Shop /Maintenance Software, Qualcomm MCP50 Mobile Communication System, PC*Miler, Microsoft SQL Server and Microsoft.net. Our technological systems provide detailed load management resources, carrier management, real-time driver/driving management, automatic billing, asset management and preventative maintenance management for all equipment.

Load Management

From the moment a load is tendered, SJ Transportation has the capability to track every movement of the scheduled shipment in real time. All shipments are reviewed by status for shipment alerts with detailed information accessible from the load board. Performance is monitored constantly with real-time alerts generated for loads at the risk of being late. Details on current location and driving time can be viewed with a single click. Customers also have the ability to track their own shipments by fleet, details per tractor, delivery locations, etc.

Automated Billing

With SJ Transportation’s one of a kind software platform billing can be automated. Flexible tariffs can be created based on any information within the system. This automation reduces billing mistakes by applying the tariffs to completed loads. Invoices can be reviewed and released individually, by batch or by workflow. Supplemental invoices can be created for additional charges, resulting in faster billing that can transmit invoices via paper, email or EDI on a per customer basis.

Asset Maintenance

Preventative maintenance is completely automated with electronically scheduling units to optimize performance. Repair history is tracked in detail, over the road and in-house. Mechanic performance is analyzed for estimated repair time and up to date reports are generated for total cost of ownership, vehicle condition, status and more.

Safety Policy

SJ Transportation Co., Inc. has established a corporate Safety Policy that emphasizes our commitment to the safety of our employees, drivers, customers and general public. We are dedicated to creating and maintaining a safe, healthy, and injury-free work environment. SJ Transportation recognizes local, state and federal regulations as the minimum standards of our safety program.

SJ Transportation views our employees and customers as our most valued assets and their safety and health is our first priority. Senior management is responsible for implementing the core elements of the Safety Policy, however all managers, supervisors, employees and drivers have an individual responsibility to carry out and enforce the Safety Policy.

Each department within SJ Transportation participates in a safety and performance incentive program. These programs enforce our dedication to individual accountability under the Safety Policy. In addition it supports the culture of a team mentality rather than the “I don’t care / it doesn’t affect me” attitude. SJ Transportation believes that safety is not just something you have to deal with, but rather an integral part of our corporate social responsibility.
