CCJ will crown its 2024 Innovator of the Year Thursday night at its Innovator Summit in Key Largo, Florida. Below is a round up of CCJ's 2023 Innovators, each a candidate for the honor of 2024 Innovator of the Year. 

As part of its Innovators program, CCJ profiles a fleet each month for deploying – and in many cases, developing – innovative strategies and/or technologies that improve the operation of their business in some area (or areas); be it in recruitment and retention, maintenance, back office technologies and anything (and everything) in between. 

Tulsa, Okla., carrier Melton Truck Lines was the 2023 Innovator of the year

The CCJ Innovators program is sponsored by BestpassChevron DeloComdata and Freightliner Trucks

If you know a carrier that has displayed innovation, contact CCJ Chief Editor Jason Cannon at [email protected] or 800-633-5953. 

An ongoing challenge Ryder (CCJ Top 250, No. 14) and thousands of fleets across the country battle is idle equipment. Ryder let that common problem serve as unifying call to action when they launched their vehicle sharing platform COOP in 2018.

Now a dedicated website and app has become so popular that COOP has seen 250% year-over-year growth since rolling out four years ago.
