In February, 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 construction fleets; upcoming FleetOwner top 10 lists will rank fleets by other subsections.
Bulk fleets can be split into two categories: dry and liquid. According to Inbound Logistics, dry bulk cargo refers to goods shipped in raw, unprocessed form, such as grains, minerals, and ore. Liquid bulk cargo refers to goods shipped as liquids, such as oils or chemicals. Bulk trucking uses either a liquid tanker, a dry bulk trailer, or drums or totes in a dry van.
Compared to 2025, the top three spots in this top 10 remain the same. But Beelman Truck entered the ranks at No. 4, bumping Oakley Trucking back to No. 5. Savage Cos. dropped from No. 5 to No. 8. Venezia dropped two spots as well. Despite these top 10 drops, all but three of these fleets rose in the overall 500 rankings.
