When we talk about going green, it’s more than just lip service. It’s how we do business at King. To show how we’re walking the walk, we created Thinking Green, our proprietary program that helps businesses like yours ship more efficiently and follow through on their promises of being more eco-friendly.

We’re way more eco than ego.

LOAD PLANNING

We’re constantly enhancing our LTL and PTL consolidation services, optimizing the number of trucks we send on the road and moving freight more efficiently. So as carbon footprints go down, profits rise. Learn more >

WAREHOUSING

Our material handlers utilize pallet (vs steel) banding, electronic standup (vs gas) lifts, and recycled pallets. It’s smart storage with a conscience. Learn more >

FULFILLMENT

We offer eco-friendly options like corrugated dunnage manufactured from recycled materials as well as recycled cartons, air pillows, packing paper and tape. We even package outbound shipments with select packaging from incoming ones. Waste not want not. Learn more >

BUILDING & PROPERTY

Constructed in 2008, our headquarters utilizes motion-activated lighting, LED light bulbs, green-friendly custodial products, and recycling bins throughout the property.

PAPERLESS INVOICING

Our accounts payable and receivable teams have moved many accounts to an electronic system, working with clients and partners to reduce our collective footprint.

Human Resources

We’ve converted most paper forms into electronic processes and sign off, including payment stubs and policy handbooks.

USPS PARTNERSHIP

In an effort to eliminate waste and improve reconciliation at mail facilities, we were one of the first USPS partners to participate in electronic mail shipment tracking, the paperless 8125 eInduction process, and the Intelligent Mail container barcode (IMcb) system. Learn more >
