Now in its 14th year, Best Fleets to Drive For, is an annual survey and contest that recognizes the North American for-hire trucking companies who provide the best workplace experience for their drivers.
To be considered fleets must be nominated by a company driver or independent contractor working with them, after which they are evaluated across a broad range of categories reflecting current best practices in human resources.
The Top 20 finishers are identified as Best Fleets to Drive For and then categorized according to size. The highest scoring fleet in each category is named the overall winner.
Chief Carriers have been named to the Best Fleets Top 20 for the second year in a row. General Manager, Andrew Winkler, was thrilled to accept the distinguished honor on behalf of the company. “The team at Chief Carriers has done an amazing job over the last few years building on their own success in creating a people-first culture within the organization. Chief is a place where drivers can expect the best equipment, a safe environment to operate in and programs that create a career path for long-term success.” Winkler said.
