Savannah, GA - Gary and Kyle Mooney, founders of Green Fleet Systems, are expanding their East Coast operations, and setting up shop at the Savannah Ports.  The drayage company opened at 276 Jimmy Deloach Parkway in Savannah. Currently, Green Fleet Systems, plans to expand their operations over the next calendar year in Savannah, adding a minimum of 25 jobs in Savannah when phase two is complete. 

“We saw the growth here, the balanced import-to-export ratio, and the reach well into the heartland of the country,”Gary Mooney said, “We think this is the place to be.”

According to an article, by Mary Carr Mayle of the Savannah Morning News, Green Fleet Systems uses alternative fuel powered tractors at its operations in California and as the infrastructure permits, will replicate those operations here in Savannah. Green Fleet is moving quickly to show environmental responsibility by replacing old lighting technology on their 6 acre yard. 

“Our first order of business will be to set up drayage operations and the container yard” according to Dennis Cravens, Green Fleets Director, who will be working with William Relihan, terminal manager for the Savannah Operation.

Cliff Pyron, Georgia Port Authority’s Chief Commercial Officer, said “We’re happy to welcome Green Fleet Systems to the Port of Savannah and hope their unique business models serves as a catalyst for change toward greener cargo-handling technologies.”
