February 21, 2025
HUDSON, IL—The Truckload Carriers Association has selected Nussbaum Transportation for its first-ever list of TCA Elite Fleet certified carriers. This award designates Nussbaum as a 2025 Best Place to Drive.
According to TCA, winners were “thoroughly evaluated based on key metrics such as safety, driver satisfaction, turnover rates, compensation, benefits, quality of life for drivers, company equipment, and operational efficiency.” TCA also surveyed company drivers and owner-operators to gather relevant feedback. In total, forty-eight truckload carriers earned their Elite Fleet certification.
“We are incredibly proud to announce this first class of TCA Elite Fleets,” said Jim Ward, TCA President. “These carriers went through a comprehensive and detailed application process, had their drivers surveyed for validation, and received top scores for their combination of driver compensation, benefits, engagement, satisfaction, training, support, company equipment, safety, and facilities. These forty-eight carriers are truly Elite Fleets, and we extend our heartfelt congratulations to them.”
“We are honored to be recognized as an Elite Fleet and 2025 Best Place to Drive,” said Bill Wettstein, President at Nussbaum Transportation. “The key to our success is employee owners—drivers, technicians, dispatchers, and support staff—who daily live out our vision to create positive impact with every interaction. Professional Driving is an essential, highly demanding career, and truck drivers deserve to be respected, cared for, and listened to!”
TCA will formally recognize the Elite Fleets on Monday, March 17, at their annual Truckload Convention in Phoenix.
