Marathon Petroleum was recently named the 2025 FleetOwner 500 Private Fleet of the Year by the National Private Truck Council (NPTC).
Operating one of the largest private fleets in the U.S., Marathon achieved a 99.75% delivery reliability rate in 2024 while successfully reducing operational costs. The fleet includes more than 500 power units and nearly 1,200 professional drivers who transport gasoline, diesel, crude oil and renewable fuels across the country.
This recognition reflects the company’s strong safety culture and investment in advanced technologies. Marathon maintains an exceptional Department of Transportation (DOT) safety record and an 85.5% driver retention rate, an indicator of its commitment to supporting and retaining skilled drivers through competitive compensation, benefits and recognition programs.
“In every aspect of our operations, safety and excellence are our top priorities,” said Jocko Langlois, Marathon Petroleum East Transport Operations Director. “This recognition is a reflection of the dedication our team brings every day to ensure we deliver safely, reliably and responsibly.”
In addition to the FleetOwner award, seven of Marathon’s fleets received the NPTC Safety Seal award for year-over-year improvements in vehicle accident performance. Four fleets earned Silver status for reducing accidents by 40% or more, while three fleets earned Bronze for reductions between 20% and 30%.

- Champaign, Ill.
- Galveston Bay, Texas
- Lima, Ohio
- Niles, Mich.
Bronze Status:
