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.

The Top Green Fleets deadline is April 15! Submit your nomination here.

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: 

Ad Loading...
  • 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.
