Best Fleets to Drive For®, the only North America-wide evaluation of the best workplaces in the trucking industry, today opened registration for their annual education and awards conference, taking place March 3-4, 2025. The event, at the NASCAR Hall of Fame in Charlotte, North Carolina, will recognize winning fleets and share insights from the 2025 winners.

Now in its 17th year, Best Fleets to Drive For ® is an annual survey and contest identifying the for-hire carriers providing the best workplace experiences for their drivers. Produced by CarriersEdge®, a leading provider of online driver training, the program is open to all for-hire fleets operating 10 tractor-trailers or more in the U.S. or Canada. After being nominated by a driver or owner-operator, participating fleets are evaluated across a range of categories, including HR practices, operational strategy, professional development, and work/life balance. A comprehensive driver survey is included as well, with company responses and driver feedback compiled to identify the winners.

Recognizing Winners

The Top 20 Best Fleets, along with the Hall of Fame and Fleets to Watch (honorable mentions), will be announced on January 30, 2025.

The Education & Awards Conference will publicly recognize those winning fleets and unveil two overall winners in the “large” and “small” fleet categories, as well as an overall winner in the Hall of Fame category.

Sharing Insights

The conference will also reveal what makes those fleets winners, sharing trends, innovative ideas, and programs that have proven successful at fleets of all sizes.

With thousands of fleet responses and driver surveys reviewed through each year’s scoring process, the conference provides a detailed look at what the top performers are doing to keep their drivers happy and productive.

“The Best Fleets evaluation process produces a wealth of insight and information each year,” said Jane Jazrawy, CEO of CarriersEdge. “Conference attendees will have the opportunity to get a detailed look at what makes the winning fleets successful and what they can do to adopt those ideas.”
