Fleet Spotlight - Prime Inc.

Starting out as a single truck operation in 1970, Prime Inc. offers transportation solutions in the refrigerated, flatbed, tanker, and intermodal divisions. With seven appearances in the Top 20 Best Fleets to Drive For^® and an overall winner in the large carrier category, Prime entered the inaugural Hall of Fame in 2022.

While many large fleets have a reputation for being impersonal, Prime has redefined the concept of a “communal workplace.” Its head office facilities are well known for their resort-like qualities, but the sense of community extends well beyond that to its various driver committees, social efforts, and even programs to help drivers manage their personal relationships.

Fleet Spotlight - Boyle Transportation

Massachusetts-based Boyle Transportation is known for transporting life sciences and defense material across 48 states and Canada. Established in 1971, Boyle has been a regular fixture of the Top 20 for seven consecutive years and a two-time overall winner in the small carrier category, becoming an inaugural Hall of Fame inductee in the Best Fleets to Drive For® 2022 edition.

Boyle's generous pay guarantee and industry-leading safety program motivate operations and maintenance to keep drivers moving and productive, ensuring greater efficiency across the company and taking the burden off drivers wherever possible.
