California Moving Companies Turn to Biodiesel

Two California moving companies have recently taken bold steps to lighten their carbon footprint by powering their fleets with cleaner burning biodiesel fuel.

In an effort to reduce emissions and act responsibly, San Luis Obispo-based Meathead Movers began fueling all of its diesel-powered moving trucks with a B20 (20 percent biodiesel and 80 percent petroleum diesel) biodiesel blend in April, 2008. Meanwhile, a residential and commercial moving company based in Los Angeles, California, NorthStar Moving Corporation, converted all 14 of its moving trucks to a B20 biodiesel blend in April, 2008.
