Driver Retention: Best Fleets to Drive For Opens 2027 Conference Registration

Registration for the 2027 Best Fleets Education Conference offers motor carriers data-driven insights to improve driver retention, safety performance, and HR practices.

[Corps de l'article] : Markham-based Best Fleets to Drive For has opened registration for its annual Education & Awards Conference, scheduled for April 5-6, 2027, in Kansas City, Missouri. As the primary North American evaluation program focused on trucking workplace practices, the event brings together fleet executives, safety managers, and HR leaders to share operational benchmarks.

For commercial fleet operators, the conference provides direct access to proprietary data compiled from thousands of carrier submissions and driver surveys across North America. Sessions will address core operational metrics, including strategies for boosting driver satisfaction, refining safety training, and mitigating turnover. The event will also honor the Top 20 Best Fleets, Hall of Fame inductees, and overall category winners.

With labor recruitment and retention remaining top financial pressures for Canadian fleet managers, leveraging peer-tested management practices offers a concrete pathway to reduce turnover costs. Fleet nominations for the 2027 Best Fleets to Drive For program remain open through October 31, 2026.
