The Truckload Carriers Association (TCA) recently unveiled the first-ever TCA Elite Fleet certified carriers.
Forty-seven truckload carriers have earned the TCA Elite Fleet certification, recognizing them as the 2025 Best Place to Drive. This new initiative, developed in partnership with the University of Denver’s Transportation and Supply Chain Institute, highlights North American for-hire truckload carriers that foster exceptional work environments, offer competitive compensation, and implement innovative practices to support their drivers.
The certified fleets were thoroughly evaluated based on key metrics such as safety, driver satisfaction, turnover rates, compensation, benefits, quality of life for drivers, company equipment, and operational efficiency. Surveys from drivers and independent contractors were also conducted to validate the results.

“We are incredibly proud to announce this first class of TCA Elite Fleets, "said TCA President Jim Ward. "These carriers went through a comprehensive and detailed application process, had their drivers surveyed for validation, and received top scores for their combination of driver compensation, benefits, engagement, satisfaction, training, support, company equipment, safety, and facilities. These forty-seven carriers are truly Elite Fleets, and we extend our heartfelt congratulations to them. I look forward to recognizing and celebrating them next month in Phoenix.”
