Applications now open for 2026 Top Fleet Employers program

OTTAWA, ON (October 8, 2025) — Trucking HR Canada (THRC) is pleased to announce it is now accepting applications for the 2026 Top Fleet Employers (TFE) program. Find out more and start your application

Top Fleet Employers is a national initiative that recognizes fleets that meet our highest standards of excellence. Applications undergo a thorough review process, but only the top are recognized as Top Fleet Employers and are entitled to use the TFE designation for marketing and employee recruitment campaigns.

“In 2026 THRC’s flagship recognition program will be in its 13th year,” says Angela Splinter, CEO, THRC. “We’re definitely seeing the outcome of that work as more fleets with HR excellence seek this prestigious, national recognition. While we celebrate their accomplishments — these fleets enjoy the significant return that excellent HR practices have on their business.”

The group of 108 fleets welcomed into the program in 2025 is the largest TFE group in the program’s history. The underpinning of the TFE program is to encourage the rise of exceptional HR best practices across the country and showcase top performers.

TFE status sets fleets apart from their competitors and enhances company image by spotlighting them for their attractive, positive, and growth-minded work environment. TFEs are leading the way in promoting trucking and logistics as a sector with opportunities for rewarding, long-term careers.

TFE is not a competition — it’s recognition for a high level of excellence in HR policies and practices. All applications are evaluated against established HR standards by expert assessors. Organizations that meet or exceed the criteria earn the right to be called a Top Fleet Employer.

All Canadian-based small, medium, large, and private/fleet services are eligible to apply to the TFE program.


Trucking HR Canada is the recognized national authority on workforce strategy for the trucking and logistics sector. We’re a non-profit centre of excellence, engaging with employers, governments, think tanks, industry groups, and stakeholders.
