How We Rank Companies
Our rankings are based on real data from active job listings and public safety records. Each company is scored across four categories weighted by driver priority research.
Pay percentile from active job listings, plus sign-on bonus, guaranteed pay, and settlement frequency.
Weighted FMCSA safety score — unsafe driving and HOS compliance count double vs other categories.
Tiered benefits scoring: medical, 401k, dental, vision, paid time off, and driver lifestyle perks.
Carrier responsiveness to applications and fleet size relative to other companies in this ranking.
Safety data sourced from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) Safety Measurement System. Our composite scores are independently calculated and may differ from FMCSA's internal percentiles. This ranking is not endorsed or certified by the FMCSA or the U.S. Department of Transportation.
