Henderson – October 12, 2026 -- YMX Logistics doubled its zero-emission yard truck footprint across customer operations nationwide over the last twelve months, and Heavy Duty Trucking has now named the Nevada-based third-party logistics provider a 2026 Green Fleet Award winner.
The annual award honors fleet operators that show measurable progress, operational excellence and leadership in sustainable transportation. It follows YMX's 2026 Leading Off-Road Fleet Award at ACT Expo earlier this month.
YMX runs high-capacity electric yard trucks in 24/7 hub operations
The company deploys the trucks at major logistics hubs and manufacturing facilities across the U.S. Its autonomous Yard Operating System (YOS) links physical yard operations with digital tools. YMX says the system improves throughput, reduces bottlenecks and dwell time, optimizes asset utilization, lowers operating costs and supports emissions-reduction goals.
Software, not vehicles alone, drives EV returns, YMX executives say
Matt Yearling argued that many companies buy electric yard trucks without realizing the operational value they expected. In his view, adding zero-emission vehicles does not guarantee operational outcomes. He credited YOS for the company's EV program, saying it folds electrification into a framework that continuously optimizes execution, asset utilization and operational flow.
COO Erin Mitchell said electric yard operations bring "an entirely different level of operational complexity." She said success depends on coordinating people, equipment, infrastructure and workflows. YMX has built its operating model so customers can scale sustainability initiatives without sacrificing reliability, throughput or service performance, she added.
