* Statistics unavailable for 2018 survey. Counts from 2017.
Companies have been ranked based on a total of vehicle counts, including straight trucks, tractors, and trailers, as reported to Today’s Trucking editorial teams. Vehicles and employees based in the United States can be included if they are administered from a Canadian head office. Top 100 data is compiled from fleet representatives by telephone or email. The statistics are not independently verified.
Selected fleets have been excluded from the list if they ask to be omitted, or do not respond to repeated requests for data.
Do you think your company should be on future Top 100 lists – or were they missed on this one? Email editor John G. Smith at johng@newcom.ca, or call 416-614-5812.
