Overview

Mission

The coalition for efficient & responsible trucking formed in 2014 to advance sensible, safe, and environmentally sound changes in the market for less than truckload (ltl) freight. We believe it is time to introduce a new era of efficiency to the market through a five foot extension on twin trailers. The new 33 foot trailers have been tested under every driving condition in limited markets. They would result in fewer trucks on the road and provide immediate benefits to the challenges of congestion. It is time to bring the environmental, safety and productivity gains they offer to the entire nation.

What it reported doing in 2017

Coaltion closed in 2017. Regularly engaged with coalition memebers and other like-minded groups/organizations/individuals to educate the public and elected officials on the beneifts of twin 33 trailers.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Revenue has declined or grown slowly and assets have declined or grown slowly.
