The 2010 FleetOwner500
America's Top Private Fleets
The Great Recession has finally caught up with America’s Top 500 private fleets. For the first time since they annual survey began seven years ago, there is a significant drop in the number of trucks operated by the country’s largest fleets. Not only is this year’s truck total for our Top 500 12.5 % lower than last year it’s also lower than 2008’s total.
