Best Fleets to Drive For, produced by CarriersEdge, has officially opened nominations for the 18th edition of the program. 

Now through October 31st, 2025, company drivers and independent contractors can visit www.bf2df.com to formally nominate the companies they work with as Best Fleets to Drive For.

 All for-hire fleets operating 10 or more tractor-trailers in the U.S. or Canada, regardless of freight segment, are eligible to participate in the program.

A Comprehensive Process 

Once nominated, fleets that choose to participate complete a questionnaire and interview, providing information about driver programs across a range of categories. 

A selection of drivers is also surveyed, supplementing the information provided by management. 

Company responses and driver surveys are compiled and scored, with the top 20 scorers identified as Best Fleets to Drive For. 

The top 20 is then divided into “small” and “large” fleet categories, and the top-scoring fleet in each category is crowned Best Overall Fleet for the category. 

The top-scoring fleet in the Hall of Fame will also be honored as an overall winner in that category.

The Top 20 Best Fleets, the overall winners, and fleets entering the Hall of Fame will be recognized at the Best Fleets to Drive For Education & Awards Conference scheduled for March 2026.

 “The ongoing freight recession has brought challenges for all segments of the trucking industry,” said Jane Jazrawy, CEO of CarriersEdge. “However, that hasn’t stopped fleets from finding creative ways to support their drivers, and we’re looking forward to hearing all the great ideas they’ve come up with.”
