K&J Trucking and Decker Truck Line have been named the Best Overall Fleets to Drive For in 2025, earning top honors in the small and large fleet categories, respectively, at the second annual Best Fleets to Drive For education and awards conference held at the NASCAR Hall of Fame in Charlotte, N.C.
K&J Trucking, a four-time Top 20 carrier based in South Dakota, was also the overall winner in 2024, becoming the first contractor fleet to win back-to-back trophies since the small and large carrier categories were created 11 years ago.
Iowa-based Decker Truck Line, which has been named a Top 20 fleet four times, claimed its first Best Overall Fleet award this year.
CarriersEdge, which runs the program, also presented Ohio-based Garner Trucking with a second annual Stratosphere award, which recognizes the top-scoring fleet in the Best Fleets Hall of Fame. To be eligible for the Hall of Fame, fleets must be named a Best Fleet for 10 consecutive years, or seven years with at least one overall winner award. Fleets must requalify each year to retain the distinction.
This year, six Canadian fleets were among the Top 20 finalists of Best Fleets to Drive For. They were also recognized during the conference.
Ontario-based Wellington Motor Freight, Ippolito Transportation, and Kriska Holdings made the Top 10 best small fleets to drive for, while Challenger Motor Freight, Fortigo Freight Services and Quebec’s C.A.T. were named among the best large carriers.
Winnipeg-based Bison Transport and Milton, Ont.-based Transpro Freight Systems have secured spots in the Hall of Fame, a distinction for fleets consistently recognized over the years. Meanwhile, the Five Fleets to Watch list identified Steve’s Livestock Transport in Blumenort, Man.
