Participant Profile: Albert Transport

Albert Transport started in 1983, and company CEO Henry Albert says he has only idled one night when he fell asleep while he was sick with the flu. He believes fleets can do better with diesel-powered trucks than they currently are doing. He is a member of Freightliner’s Team Run Smart and took part in the first Run on Less in 2017. To date, Henry has achieved a lifetime high of 13.7 mpg on his 2022 Cascadia and a lifetime average of 10.5 mpg on that truck.

“When you combine the driver embracing the technology and understanding the technology, it takes the fuel efficiency and performance levels out to areas that were incomprehensible just a short time ago.”

“There’s a lot of moving pieces in order to be able to get the best spec for your needs. It really just depends on what you can dial into and know what’s going to work best for you.”

“It’s really important as you’re purchasing new trucks, to continue to evaluate what those specs look like and really understand what the OEM is doing to help improve those fuel efficiency numbers.”
