Sustainability.
We move freight for a living, and we own the impact of doing it. Reducing emissions over time, without compromising service.
Some vehicle images featured on our website were proudly supplied by TR Group Ltd, a key partner in our journey. This visual showcase reflects the deep longevity of the relationship between TR Group Ltd and Yates Freight—a multi-year partnership built on mutual trust, shared values, and a relentless focus on keeping our operations moving efficiently. Together, we continue to invest in the future of transport, ensuring our team has access to the very best equipment to serve our clients every day.
Responsibility.
We accept that our business is based on an activity that generates carbon emissions.
We therefore take responsibility to reduce emissions over time while maintaining our ability to deliver high-quality services.
Lowering emissions, load by load.
Reducing emissions in road transport is a long road of its own. These are the practical commitments we hold ourselves to as we travel it.
A Modern, Efficient Fleet
We invest in newer, higher-emission-standard trucks and keep every unit well-maintained, because efficient engines, correct tyre pressures and clean running gear all burn less fuel per kilometre.
Smarter Routing & Loading
Full loads and well-planned runs mean fewer trucks travelling fewer empty kilometres. Backloading and route optimisation are some of the simplest, biggest levers we have.
Driver Practices
How a truck is driven matters. We support our drivers with training and feedback on fuel-efficient driving: steady speeds, reduced idling and smooth braking.
Measure, Then Improve
We can’t reduce what we don’t measure. We track fuel use and kilometres so that emission reductions are real and evidenced over time, not just intentions.
Where we put our attention.
Fuel & Emissions
Continuous focus on litres burned per kilometre, the single clearest measure of our footprint on the road.
Fleet Renewal
Replacing older units with cleaner, more efficient trucks as the fleet cycles, and watching low-emission technology as it matures.
Responsible Operations
Respect for the environment is one of our stated values; it sits alongside how we treat our people, our customers and our communities.
