CarriersEdge, a provider of online driver training for the trucking industry, recently announced the 2025 Best Fleets to Drive For. These North American for-hire trucking companies are being recognized for providing the best 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. These nominated fleets 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 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.
“This year, the Best Fleets continued to invest in new and creative programs to enhance the workplace experience for drivers,” said Jane Jazrawy, CarriersEdge CEO. “Despite 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.”
