Two trucking companies named Best Fleets to Drive For in 2024

Two trucking companies were named overall Best Fleets To Drive For by CarriersEdge.

On April 9, 2024, CarriersEdge named the top two trucking companies at the Best Fleets to Drive For Education & Awards Conference held at the NASCAR Hall of Fame in North Carolina.

This year, the Best Overall Fleet in the small carrier category went to K&J Trucking of Sioux Falls, South Dakota. This is the first time K&J Trucking has received this award.

The award for Best Overall Fleet in the large carrier category was presented to Challenger Motor Freight, Inc. of Cambridge, Ontario. This is the second time that Challenger Motor Freight has received a Best Overall Fleet award.

“The fleets that came out on top this year were especially exciting to watch—between the tough industry headwinds and the fierce competition in the Best Fleets program, K&J Trucking and Challenger Motor Freight exemplified hard work and excellence,” said Jane Jazrawy, CarriersEdge CEO. “Both companies showed that they’re progressive in developing innovative programs that truly make a difference in their relationships with drivers. Their overall winner awards are well deserved.”

Also recognized at the Best Fleets to Drive For awards ceremony was Garner Trucking, Inc. of Findlay, Ohio. The company received the first-ever “Stratosphere Award,” which recognizes the top-scoring fleet in the Best Fleets Hall of Fame.

For the past sixteen years, online driver training provider CarriersEdge has released an annual list of North American carriers that provide the best workplaces for their drivers. To be considered for the list, a trucking company must first be nominated by one of their drivers. Then CarriersEdge evaluates the companies on factors like compensation and benefits, HR strategies, operations, professional development, and work/life balance. Finally, surveys are used to determine how satisfied drivers are with their day-to-day experience with the company.
