Earlier this month, FleetOwner released its 2026 FleetOwner 500: For-Hire list, which ranks the largest motor carrier and commercial fleet operations in the U.S. This year, the for-hire list saw shake-ups in all but the top five spots for the second year in a row.
In addition to creating this list, FleetOwner also breaks these fleets down into categories, either by equipment or by the fleet's main cargo type or segment. This media gallery will focus on the fleets with the most straight trucks; upcoming FleetOwner top 10 lists will rank fleets by most tractors, trailers, and other subsections.
The top four of this media gallery remain the same as last year, as FedEx, UPS, Brinks, and Loomis hold on to their rankings. R+L Carriers jumped two positions to No. 5, while CSX/Quality Carriers stayed at No. 6. Temco Logistics is new at No. 7, along with UniGroup at No. 8. Patrick Industries remained at No. 9, while GardaWorld dropped two positions to No. 10. In 2025, TruckMovers and Bennett International Group held positions in this top 10 list but not in 2026 for either company.
