The Truckload Carriers Association (TCA) is excited to unveil the first-ever TCA Elite Fleet certified carriers. Forty-seven truckload carriers have earned the esteemed 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 & 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.
TCA President Jim Ward had this to say about the TCA Elite Fleets. “We are incredibly proud to announce this first class of TCA Elite Fleets. 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.”
FTC Transportation is more than honored to have been named alongside of the other Elite Fleets. We strive daily to do better than we did yesterday, and to be the top of workplace our team members are proud of. Congratulations to the FTCT Team, as each one of you made this possible!
