Flexibility and incentives for its drivers are two big reasons why Paramount Freight Systems continues to be recognized as an award-winning driver-friendly company.
Last March, the Truckload Carriers Association and CarriersEdge announced Paramount as the overall winner of the annual Best Fleets to Drive For award in the owner-operator category at TCA’s annual convention in Grapevine, Texas.
Best Fleets to Drive For, now accepting nominations for the seventh year, identifies North American for-hire trucking companies that provide the best workplace experiences for their drivers. Nominated carriers are evaluated on the range and depth of offered programs, the overall effectiveness of those programs across key metrics, and the responses of surveyed drivers. Factors include the fleet’s total compensation package, commitment to employee development, annual turnover rate and safety record.
The top 20 finishers are identified as Best Fleets to Drive For, and the highest scoring fleet in both the owner-operator and company driver categories are named overall winners. Bison Transport of Winnipeg, Manitoba, was announced as the overall winner in the company driver category.
It’s the third time in the last four years that the overall owner-operator award went to Paramount, which received the highest driver-satisfaction score in the program this year.
“Being named in the Top 20 Best Fleets to Drive For list acknowledges the work we have done to build our organization, and being named the best overall for the third time gives us validation that our work is benefiting our owners and customers,” says Trent Dye, Paramount’s director. “We will continue to build upon these successes to strengthen our company for their benefit. We have a great team, and I can’t thank them enough for working together to achieve this honor.”
