Organizers of the annual Best Fleets to Drive For competition are accepting nominations for the 17th edition of the program.
Now through Oct. 31, company drivers and independent contractors can visit 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.
“Despite coming through some of the most challenging conditions the industry has seen in decades, fleets have managed not to lose sight of the importance of supporting their drivers,” Jane Jazrawy, CEO of program producer CarriersEdge, said in a news release. “We’re excited to hear about the new, innovative ways companies are making a difference for their people.”
Once nominated, fleets who 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 then is 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 set for March 3-4, 2025, at the NASCAR Hall of Fame in Charlotte, North Carolina.
