The Company

There’s a place for people like you. Welcome to Merchants Fleet.

We’ve been around for more than 60 years, but we’re the fastest growing fleet management company in North America. The fleet industry is behind every delivered package, the summertime memories kids make on their way to camp, and the heavy-duty trucks and vans that keep the lights on. That’s a lot of responsibility, and why we want our employees to always be at their best.

Everything at Merchants Fleet is fueled by our entrepreneurial spirit, including:

• Leadership who truly lead and engage with employees   
• Real career paths and the tools you need to grow and develop  
• A work environment that’s encouraging and collaborative

We know employees won’t stay if they’re not happy, which is why we provide a great benefits package on top of our award-winning work environment. In fact, we’ve just made the “Great Companies to Work For in NH” list for the eighth year in a row and have a 88% employee satisfaction score (higher than the national average of 57%).

So, what are you waiting for? See why a career with Merchants Fleet is the best decision your future self has ever made.  

We are so fortunate to have an in-house team of Talent Acquisition Specialists who do an exceptional job meeting all of the needs of our business. For this reason, we do not have a need for external recruiting support.
