Forbes has named Alabama-based AAA Cooper Transportation as one of “America’s 2022 Best Midsize Employers.”

This marks the sixth consecutive year that the Dothan-headquartered truckload freight carrier has been recognized in the category.

According to a release, Forbes partnered with Statista to discover which businesses are best at making their employees feel happy, inspired and well-compensated. Statista surveyed 60,000 people working for companies with 1,000-plus employees.

The respondents were asked how likely they would be to recommend their employer to others, and then they we asked to nominate organizations in industries outside of their own. The final list ranks the 500 midsize companies that received the most recommendations.

Scott Bowers, AAA Cooper Transportation’s vice president of Human Resources and Risk Management, expressed gratitude to company workers and leadership in enabling it to obtain the recognition.

“AAA Cooper Transportation® is thrilled to be on the 2022 Forbes Best Mid-Size Employers list. Being recognized for a 6th consecutive year reflects a commitment to creating strong relationships based on respect, trust, and decency,” said Bowers. “I am grateful to all our team members that exhibit these values, making this recognition possible.”

AAA Cooper Transportation, which is one of the top 50 largest ground transportation companies in the nation, holds around 5,000 employees that serve customers across the Southeast, Southwest and Midwest.
