HDT Graphic
It may not be easy being green, but for a trucking fleet, it can pay big dividends. If your company is a leader in sustainability efforts among trucking fleets, nominations are about to close for Heavy Duty Trucking's Top Green Fleets of 2026.
We are searching for the greenest heavy-duty trucking fleets in the country, regardless of size or type, that are leading the trucking industry in areas such as:
- Industry-leading fuel economy
- Freight-efficiency strategies
- Adoption of alternative fuels and drivetrains
- Fleet electrification
- Leading-edge “green” facilities
- Sustainability goals
- Recent progress in their sustainability journey
- Willingness to share their experience with others
- Plans and goals for the coming year
HDT's Top Green Fleets will be featured in Heavy Duty Trucking magazine, on Truckinginfo.com, on social media, and in our e-newsletters.
They will receive a certificate suitable for framing and the right to use the Top Green Fleets logo to promote their commitment to sustainability to customers and the general public.
Note: We must receive an application or nomination from someone at the fleet or from a third party in order for a company to be considered for this award. This award is for companies operating heavy-duty trucking fleets, not vendors/suppliers/OEMs, although the latter are welcome to nominate customers.
