Last 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 trailers; upcoming FleetOwner top 10 lists will rank fleets by other subsections.
J.B. Hunt Transport overtook FedEx for the No. 1 spot this year, with FedEx falling back to No. 2. ContainerPort Group moved up to No. 4 from No. 5 in 2025. R+L Carriers rose to No. 7. After moving up to No. 7 last year, TFI International fell back to No. 10.
