The last long holiday weekend of the summer. Remember to be safe on the roads, careful at railroad crossings, buckle up, don’t text, watch out for the other guy and you’ll have a great weekend!

In April, ShipCarsNow joined the SmartWaySM Transport Partnership, a innovative collaboration between U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and industry designed to significantly reduce greenhouse gases and air pollution.

ShipCarsNow will contribute to the SmartWay’s goal to reduce 33 to 66 million metric tons of carbon dioxide and up to 200,000 tons of nitrogen oxide per year by 2012 by improving the environmental performance of our freight operations. Carbon dioxide is the most common greenhouse gas, and nitrogen oxide is an air pollutant that contributes to smog. By joining SmartWay Transport Partnership, ShipCarsNow demonstrates its strong environmental leadership and corporate responsibility.

“As part of Union Pacific, we are helping used car shippers to take advantage of rail transport, which is almost four times more fuel efficient that truck,” said Jeff Grandstaff, general manager.

Launched in February 2004, the SmartWay Transport Partnership brings together major freight shippers, trucking companies, railroads, logistics companies and trade/professional associations to pursue mutually beneficial strategies that result in emissions reductions and other environmental improvements, as well as cost savings to the companies. The SmartWay Transport Partnership currently has over 2,600 Partners.

ShipCarsNow, a nationwide car hauler specializing in auto transport for dealers, is passionate about superior customer service; and they believe superior customer service begins with communication. A recent ShipCarsNow interview with Gary Kazda, Reconditioning Used Car Manager, Saint Paul Autos, Saint Paul, MN, demonstrates ShipCarsNow’s commitment and dedication to every customer, no matter the size of the customer or shipment.

SCN: Tell us about your background and the changes you’ve seen in the past few years.

Kazda:I’ve been in the automotive business since 1984, with Saturn of St. Paul since 1992 and now the Reconditioning Used Car Manager for Saint Paul Autos serving three dealerships in the Twin Cities area. We keep an active inventory of about 150 vehicles and turn the lots at least every 30 days. In the past, I’d had to personally travel to auctions, mainly in Michigan and Ohio. Now, using the internet and working with ShipCarsNow, I can easily and affordably purchase the inventory we need from auctions as far away as California, Nevada, Florida and Texas.
