Don Hummer Trucking Named 2026 TCA Elite Fleet Certified Carrier for Second Consecutive Year

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#DeliveringValue–Don Hummer Trucking is proud to announce it has been recognized as a 2026 TCA Elite Fleet Certified Carrier by the Truckload Carriers Association (TCA), marking the company’s second consecutive year earning this distinction.

The TCA Elite Fleet Program, now in its second year, recognizes North American truckload carriers that demonstrate excellence in driver experience, safety culture, operational performance, and workplace quality. The certification process was developed in partnership with the University of Denver’s Transportation & Supply Chain Institute and evaluates carriers across key performance areas including driver satisfaction, compensation and benefits, safety outcomes, operational efficiency, and quality of life. Results are validated through confidential surveys of company drivers and independent contractors.

“Being named a TCA Elite Fleet for a second year in a row is meaningful. Because this program is built around confidential driver feedback, it gives us a direct line of sight to our professional drivers and confirms that our focus on safety, continuous improvement, and building a better trucking company is showing up in our daily work,” said Chris Hummer, President & CEO of Don Hummer Trucking.

Don Hummer Trucking joins a select group of truckload carriers across the United States and Canada to achieve Elite Fleet certification for 2026, reinforcing the company’s position as a leader within the truckload industry and its dedication to continuous improvement.

Certified carriers will be formally recognized during the TCA Annual Convention in Orlando, Florida, with awards presented on March 2, 2026.
