What is the Top Fleet Employers program?
TFE is Canada’s national benchmark and recognition for organizations that make trucking and logistics a great place to work. TFE isn’t about competition — it’s about setting the bar for what great HR looks like. Top Fleet Employers are not just great workplaces — they’re ambassadors of a thriving, modern sector.
Applicants undergo a thorough annual assessment each year, but only the top companies earn the right to be called a Top Fleet Employer.
