Why should I nominate my fleet?
If you think your fleet is one of the best, this is a great way to let others know about it. There are lots of great fleets across North America, doing all kinds of creative things to make life better for their drivers and independent contractors, and we want to find all of them!
Nominating your fleet only takes a minute - we just need to know who they are and why you think they're a Best Fleet. One nomination is all it takes.
Our company was nominated but no one has contacted us. What should we do?
When a fleet is nominated, our evaluation system sends a confirmation to the email address provided in the nomination. Occasionally, however, those messages get trapped by spam filters or there are typos in the address that prevent delivery.
We don't want anyone to miss out because a message got lost in transit, so if your fleet is listed on the nominations page but you haven't received a confirmation message or login details, please contact us.
Can private fleets participate?
At this time, Best Fleets to Drive For is only open to fleets that operate exclusively for hire. Any fleet that hauls its own products or markets itself as a private fleet is considered a private fleet and ineligible.
However, a for-hire fleet incorporated as a separate business that happens to be owned by another organization is eligible, so long as the fleet's programs, policies, and benefits are distinct from those of the parent company.
Where can I learn more about the winners?
After the winners are announced, a Final Results book is prepared, outlining the trends, notable statistics, and scores received by winning fleets in all categories. The Final Results book is distributed at the Best Fleets Education & Awards Conference in April, and posted on this site as well. Past year editions are also available.
In addition, program administrators write articles, conduct webinars, and make public presentations throughout the spring and summer, discussing the findings from each year's edition of the program.
What are “Fleets to Watch”?
Every year, in addition to recognizing the 20 fleets with the best workplace cultures, we also identify 5 Fleets to Watch. These are fleets outside of the Top 20 that demonstrate promise through novel or innovative programs. Fleets to Watch are not always the highest scoring fleets outside of the Top 20, but rather fleets that we expect to see great things from in the future. Many Fleets to Watch make it into the Top 20 in subsequent years, so this designation has proven to be a strong indicator of future performance.
What do the different logos mean?
Check out our Program Logos page for the different Best Fleets logos and usage.
How can I use the logo?
Only logos provided directly by program administrators may be used by participating fleets or sponsors. Those logos may be used in any business materials or marketing collateral, but the logo cannot be modified in any way.
Contact us for copies of the logo and usage guidelines.
Will you come and speak at my event?
In many cases, yes! A key objective of the Best Fleets program is sharing the great ideas uncovered in each year's edition of the program, and CarriersEdge staff do numerous public appearances each year in support of that objective.
Whether it's a radio show, podcast, conference, convention, or something else, contact us and we'll see what we can do to accommodate your needs.
