Best Fleets to Drive For® opened registration for their annual education and awards conference, taking place April 5-6, 2027, at The Midland Theatre in Kansas City, MO.

The Best Fleets to Drive For Education & Awards Conference gives trucking leaders a rare opportunity to see what the industry’s top-performing fleets are actually doing differently.

Built around the findings of the Best Fleets to Drive For program, the conference brings together fleet executives, safety leaders, HR professionals, and industry experts for two days of practical education and candid discussion. Attendees hear directly from winning fleets, dig into proprietary program data, and explore the strategies behind stronger safety programs, better training, improved driver experience, and more effective fleet operations.

“This conference is about building better fleets by sharing what we know is working,” said Jane Jazrawy, CEO of CarriersEdge. “Not only do we dig into the insights from this year’s Best Fleets program, current and past winners share exactly what’s working for them today. And attendees leave with practical strategies they can apply in their own fleets.”

Sharing insights

With thousands of fleet responses and driver surveys reviewed through each year’s scoring process, the conference provides a detailed look at what the top performers are doing to keep their drivers happy and productive.

Attendees will learn about emerging trends, innovative ideas, and programs that are driving success.

Recognizing winners

The event is also the place where the program will publicly recognize The Top 20 Best Fleets, along with the Hall of Fame and Fleets to Watch (honorable mentions) and unveil two overall winners in the “large” and “small” fleet categories, as well as an overall winner in the Hall of Fame category.
