About Scott Cottrill
In a September 2021 appearance, Scott Cottrill discussed how Advanced Drainage Systems manages its own fleet, stating that the company is "not reliant on some third-party provider" and can therefore "dictate the routes" and "how we load those trucks and trailers." He noted that the company controls the average age of its fleet, which he said "impacts mpg" and is "very important for kind of consumption of fossil fuels." Cottrill also highlighted improvements in payload efficiency, saying the supply chain team has "done a great job" and that the company is "seeing great improvement there year over year." He gave an example in which a job that previously required 100 truck loads now takes only 85, adding that this means "those trucks aren't on the road" and "aren't burning gasoline, diesel fuel and so forth."
