Honorees include companies of all types and sizes. There are government fleets, private fleets, for-hire fleets, and truckload, less-than-truckload, vocational and delivery fleets. Some fleets have fewer than 50 trucks, others have more than 5,000, but all fleets have made a commitment to green, sustainable operations. That may include alternative fuels, top fuel mileage and freight efficiency for lower greenhouse gas emissions, energy-saving facilities, recycling programs, etc.

Here are the Top 50 Green Fleets for 2016, presented in alphabetical order:
