30 Oregon Trucking Association, Inc. Oregon Truck Dispatch If you bought it, a truck brought it. Fuel Hauler—Carson Oil Operating across Oregon, Washington and Idaho, Carson Oil hauls fuel, lubricants, DEF and packaged goods, and propane wherever it’s needed. With 500 employees and 220 trucks, they have a sizeable footprint as a three-state fuel hauler, but they’re also committed to ensuring their environmental footprint is as small as possible. Like most trucking companies, Carson Oil has upgraded its equipment to the latest, most environmentally friendly models and makes every effort to use low-carbon fuels when possible. Carson Oil’s Tim Love believes that trucking plays a critical role in Oregon’s economy because everything consumers use comes on a truck, including bikes, fuel, food, etc. “If you bought it, a truck brought it,” said Tim. Parcel—FedEx You’d be hard pressed to find an Oregonian who hasn’t utilized parcel carrier FedEx at one point or another. FedEx moves nearly all types of products, from legal documents to medical devices and tires, across all 50 states. However, many people who simply think of FedEx as a tool to receive their latest online delivery may not know that the carrier has a commitment to be carbon neutral by 2040, nor are they aware of the internal emphasis and importance that is placed on safety. FedEx’s internal motto is “people, service, profit” with people and safety intentionally listed as their first priority. “Trucking is the lifeline to our economy,” said FedEx’s Evan Oneto. “Most people do not think that much about trucking because it works, but you do think about when your deliveries do not arrive. I hope we can change the way we think about transportation and the critical role it plays in our daily lives.” OTA Carrier Member, cont.
