Two trucking companies named ‘Best Fleets To Drive For’ in 2023

The two overall winners of the annual “Best Fleets To Drive For” award were named by the Truckload Carriers Association (TCA) and CarriersEdge this week.

On March 6, the TCA recognized two for-hire carriers as the top workplaces in the trucking industry based on nomination by a company driver or owner-operator and a subsequent evaluation of the company’s human resources practices.

C.A.T. Inc. of Coteau-du-Lac, QC, was named as the overall winner in the large carrier category.

Chief Carriers, Inc. of Grand Island, Nebraska, won overall best fleet to drive for in the small carrier category.

“Year after year, the overall winners are truly changing the game. It’s imperative that fleets establish driver-centric offerings which attract and retain a skilled workforce while establishing programs that improve the work-life balance for their employees. Chief Carriers, Inc. and C.A.T. Inc. have done just that and their results show that those efforts pay off,” said TCA President Jim Ward.
