In the 15^th anniversary edition of the Best Fleets to Drive For evaluation, we see the ongoing driver shortage boosting the evolution of fleets. This year, drivers nominated 165 companies to be named Best Fleets. We conducted 109 interviews, with 95 fleets becoming Finalists and entering the scoring phase. Those Finalists had 9,434 driver surveys completed, giving us a pulse on how drivers are feeling and what is happening in the industry.

Now in its 15^th year, the annual Best Fleets to Drive For^® contest recognizes top-performing carriers. Each year, 20 fleets are awarded the honor of being named Best Fleets, along with two overall winners, one in the Large Carrier and one in the Small Carrier category.

Every past participant in the Best Fleets To Drive For^® program will have a way of tackling the evaluation process. Now in our 15^th year, we've seen many different approaches to answering the questionnaire, who attends the interview and how the driver survey is handled. If you're new to the program or looking to do things differently, here are some techniques past winners have used.
