CarriersEdge announces 2026 Best Fleets to Drive For

CarriersEdge has announced the 2026 Best Fleets to Drive For, a list made up of North American for-hire trucking companies that were nominated by a driver or contractor for providing the best workplace experiences.

Evaluated across a range of categories, like work/life balance, driver compensation and benefits, and more, the top 20 fleets with the highest overall scores are recognized as Best Fleets to Drive For. Fleets who have received the distinction for 10 consecutive years (or seven consecutive years plus an overall winner award) are inducted into the Hall of Fame.

Eight of last year's Hall of Fame fleets requalified this year, but the 2026 results brought with them new entrants and changes to the list, with four new fleets making the Top 20 for the first time and one new Hall of Fame winner. 

“This was a demanding year for fleets across the industry,” said Jane Jazrawy, CarriersEdge CEO. “The fleets recognized in the 2026 Best Fleets programs distinguish themselves not by avoiding challenges, but by responding thoughtfully to them. Through clear communication and cost-conscious, driver-focused approaches, this year's Top 20 and Hall of Fame fleets showed that strong cultures can be sustained even in difficult conditions.”
