ROSEMOUNT, Minn., Feb. 24, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Truckload Carriers Association (TCA), and CarriersEdge of Markham, Ontario, have selected Bay & Bay Transportation as one of 20 North American trucking companies to the "2015 Best Fleets to Drive For" list. The seventh annual survey and contest identifies for-hire trucking companies that provide the best workplace experiences for their drivers. Bay & Bay is the only Minnesota company chosen.

Bay & Bay Transportation has been selected as one of the "2015 Best Fleets to Drive For in North America."

Bay & Bay President/CEO Sam Anderson says the recognition is important in many ways. "It recognizes our investment in making Bay & Bay one of the best trucking companies on the road today. It also confirms to our current and prospective drivers that we have something special, and that we'll continue our deep focus on taking care of them."

To be considered for the Best Fleets program, a company operating 10 trucks or more had to be nominated by one of its company drivers or owner operators. CarriersEdge then interviewed human resources representatives and executives of the nominated fleets about their corporate direction, policies, and programs. Nominated fleets were evaluated against a scoring matrix covering a variety of categories, such as:

Total compensation - including base pay, bonuses, vacation, sick day allotment
Health benefits
Pension plans
Professional development opportunities (training, coaching programs, etc.)
Career path/advancement opportunities
Commitment to employee personal growth, including work/life balance, driver family support, and employee-directed charitable contributions
Commitment to continuous improvement, including dispute resolution processes and inclusion of driver feedback in policymaking
Team building and driver community development activities
Annual driver turnover rate and efforts to improve
Fleet safety record

A selection of each fleet's drivers was also surveyed, with their feedback compared to management's and incorporated into the final score.

All top 20 fleets, including Bay & Bay, will be recognized at the TCA Annual Convention on March 10 in Orlando, FL. TCA will give two additional honors to the top trucking companies by category for owner operator and company driver.
