TCA: Best Fleets to Drive For Program at a Glance
Does your company have what it takes to be named a Best Fleet?
S
ince 2008, the Truckload Carriers Association (TCA) and its partner CarriersEdge have encouraged professional truck drivers and independent
contractors to nominate their companies as Best Fleets to Drive For. The annual contest and survey evaluates and identifies trends and best practices, and publicly recognizes employers who provide exceptional workplace environments within the trucking industry.
The program is open to any for-hire trucking company operating 10 or more trucks in the United States or Canada. Fleets do not have to be members of TCA to participate, nor is there a fee to be involved. It only takes one nomination from a professional truck driver or independent contractor who is affiliated with your company to start the process.
For the 2021 program, a record number of fleets – 150 – were nominated by their drivers, and 75 of those completed evaluations and made it to the final scoring round. We also received nearly 7,000 driver surveys from the participating fleets.
TCA and CarriersEdge are eager to recognize the 2021 Top 20 Best Fleets to Drive For and reveal the overall winners during Truckload 2021: Las Vegas on September 25-28.
New this year, to keep the momentum going amongst
the Top 20 fleets since our announcement in January, we launched a #ShowtimeinSeptember social media campaign. Each Top 20 fleet received a plaque and is encouraged to photograph their team at headquarters or a terminal prior to Truckload 2021: Las Vegas.
Additionally, the program just launched the Best Fleets Newsletter – a monthly publication designed for carriers who are eager to build a better, more progressive, and inclusive company. Top 20 fleets, best practices, and more will be highlighted in the piece.
Eager to have your company participate in the 2022 contest? Note the following dates:
• Nominations from drivers accepted – Sept 7 – Oct 31
• Fleet evaluations – Participating carriers start their questionnaire when nominated, interviews completed by Dec 17
• Driver surveys – Target number completed by Dec 31
• Top 20 Winner announcement – Jan 30, 2022
• Overall Winner announcement & Private Best Fleets Winner reception – TCA Annual Convention (Las Vegas) – Mar 21, 2022
The program is grateful for the support of our sponsors: EpicVue and TruckRight.
