Top 20 Best Fleets to Drive For unveiled

CarriersEdge on Tuesday announced the 2025 Best Fleets to Drive For, recognizing for-hire trucking companies for providing positive workplace experiences for their company drivers and independent contractors.

To be considered for the 2025 Best Fleets program, for-hire carriers operating 10 tractor-trailers or more were nominated by a company driver or owner-operator currently working with them. Nominees were then evaluated across a range of categories, including driver compensation and benefits, HR strategies, operations, professional development, and work/life balance. Driver surveys were also conducted to collect input from company drivers and independent contractors to measure their satisfaction working with the fleets. The results of the questionnaire and surveys were compiled and scored to help identify top-performing companies.

The fleets with the highest overall scores are recognized as Best Fleets to Drive For. Fleets receiving the distinction for 10 consecutive years (or seven consecutive years plus an overall winner award) are inducted into the Hall of Fame.

β€œThis year, the Best Fleets continued to invest in new and creative programs to enhance the workplace experience for drivers,” said Jane Jazrawy, CarriersEdge CEO. β€œDespite what’s been a tough economy the past couple of years for fleets, the Best Fleets Top 20 and Hall of Fame members have continued to show that the well-being of their drivers remains a top priority.” 

Among the Top 20, two overall winners will be unveiled, in large and small fleet categories, at the Best Fleets Education & Awards Conference, March 3-4, at the NASCAR Hall of Fame in Charlotte, North Carolina. CarriersEdge also plans to present the Stratosphere Award, which recognizes the top-scoring fleet in the Best Fleets Hall of Fame. In addition to announcing the overall program winners, the conference highlights full details of data collected during this year’s edition of the program – stats, trends, and innovative programs from all the Top 20 and Hall of Fame fleets. The conference is sponsored by EpicVue, TruckRight and Netradyne.
