CarriersEdge has unveiled the 2025 Best Fleets to Drive For winners, with several Canadian carriers recognized for providing the best working environment for truck drivers and owner-operators.
Now in its 17th year, the annual program highlights the best for-hire trucking companies across North America based on driver satisfaction, innovative HR practices, and operational excellence. To be considered for the 2025 Best Fleets program, for-hire carriers operating at least 10 tractor-trailers were required to be nominated by a company driver or owner-operator actively working with them.

Nominated fleets underwent a rigorous evaluation across various categories, including driver compensation and benefits, human resources strategies, operations, professional development, and work-life balance.
Six Canadian winners
Six Canadian fleets were recognized among the Top 20 Best Fleets to Drive For. Those include Quebec-based C.A.T., and Ontario-headquartered carriers including Challenger Motor Freight, Fortigo Freight Services, Ippolito Transportation, Kriska Holdings, and Wellington Motor Freight.
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.
The Five Fleets to Watch list identified Steve’s Livestock Transport in Blumenort, Man.

“This year, the Best Fleets continued to invest in new and creative programs to enhance the workplace experience for drivers,” said Jane Jazrawy, CarriersEdge chief executive officer, in a news release. “Despite what’s been a tough economy the past couple of years for fleets, the Best Fleets Top 20 and Hall of Fame members have continued to show that the well-being of their drivers remains a top priority.”
From the Top 20, two overall winners will be unveiled, in large and small fleet categories, at the Best Fleets Education & Awards Conference, March 3-4, 2025, in Charlotte, N.C. CarriersEdge will also present the Stratosphere Award, which recognizes the top-scoring fleet in the Best Fleets Hall of Fame.
