Chattanooga, TN -April 25, 2025 — Covenant Logistics has been honored with DHL’s Managed Transportation Sustainability Carrier of the Year Award, a distinction that highlights the company’s leadership in delivering high-performance, environmentally responsible freight solutions.

The award reflects Covenant’s longstanding commitment to sustainable innovation and operational excellence across the managed transportation space.

As one of only nine SmartWay® Carriers in DHL’s prestigious Presidential Circle, Covenant has consistently delivered high service performance for DHL’s managed transportation customers. The company also maintains top-tier sustainability rankings on EcoVadis, reinforcing its reputation as a values-driven logistics provider.

Covenant’s sustainability efforts include:

• Auxiliary Power Units (APUs) to reduce idling and lower emissions

• Biodiesel/B100 adoption to power cleaner fuel usage

• Investment in Orange EV electric yard trucks for terminal operations

• Continued fleet modernization with new, low-emission equipment

Through these initiatives, Covenant has not only reduced emissions but has also eliminated unnecessary miles from the supply chain, driving both environmental and operational efficiency.

"Being recognized by a global leader like DHL—especially in the managed transportation category—underscores the real impact of our sustainability initiatives," said Matt McLelland, SVP of Sustainability. "This award is a testament to what’s possible when operational excellence meets environmental stewardship."
