Feature Editorial
Last week, winners of the 14th edition of the Best Fleets To Drive For program took to the stage, featuring 10 new names in the Top 20. Alongside that Top 20 were 8 inductees to the brand-new Hall of Fame, capping a record-breaking season that saw 207 nominations, 8,502 surveys, 110 interviews, and 93 finalists.

With Challenger Motor Freight Inc. and Garner Trucking, Inc. taking the Overall Winners trophies for large and small carriers respectively, the awards portion of 2022 program has come to a close. However, while that part may be over, members of the Best Fleets program team have more to say! In this issue of the Best Fleets newsletter, our team gives a behind-the-scenes tour of the Best Fleets process, from interviews, to scoring and sharing the news across the industry.

See what it takes to get from 207 nominees down to 20 Best Fleets.
