Enrollment for the 2026 Truckload Carriers Association's Elite Fleet Program is now open.
This certification program was created in partnership with the University of Denver’s Transportation & Supply Chain Institute, and aims to spotlight and honor those North American for-hire carriers that offer best-in-class work environments, competitive compensation, and innovative practices for their drivers, according to a statement from the organization.
The certification program includes an evaluation based on company data and driver programs, including metrics on safety, operations, compensation, benefits, quality of life, and technology. Surveys completed by drivers and independent contractors will help validate these factors.
The deadline to apply is Nov. 28. Certified fleets will be announced Jan. 7, 2026
Certified carriers will be honored at TCA’s 2026 Convention from Feb. 28 - March 3 in Orlando.
TruckRight and Netradyne are major sponsors of the program
