The genesis of "going green" for APPS Transport Group was not something borne out of the post-Al Gore-induced panic about global warming, nor was it forced upon it by government decree. For the Brampton-based carrier, it wasn't about saving the planet either - it was just good business sense.rn"When saving money through using less natural resources became more in vogue and started to be called 'green,' speed limiting trucks came to light as more of a green issue than a sensible business issue," says APPS president, Rob McDonald. APPS first decided to limit its trucks to 100 km/h about 10 years ago, well before any talk about the mandatory use of speed limiters. The move by APPS could well be used as a catalyst for carriers to measure any future success from limiting speed on their trucks. As for APPS, the company has reaped considerable rewards since limiting the speed of its fleet.
