Now in its eighth year, the EPA’s list of SmartWay High Performers highlights their partner companies that conquer the challenges of the sustainable goods movement. Since becoming a SmartWay Transport Partner in 2023, Bob’s Discount Furniture continues to be a highly efficient, productive and sustainable freight industry truck carrier.
