The American Trucking Associations has recognized ABF Freight System and Roehl Transport, Marshfield, Wis., as benchmarks for claims/loss prevention with the Excellence in Claims/Loss Prevention Award
during the 2008 Freight Claims and Loss Prevention Annual Conference.

ATA also named Lois Beggs, Manager, Claims Prevention, Pitt Ohio, Express LLC, Pittsburgh, Pa. as the Claims/Loss Prevention Professional of the Year.

"The Excellence in Claims/Loss Prevention is the only national award of its kind in the trucking industry," said Susan Chandler, executive director of the ATA Safety and Loss Prevention Management Council. "This prestigious award pays homage to the two companies that set the bar for claims management, loss prevention and damage control and that have mastered the art of inspection and investigation; perfected claims filing and process; and eliminated, minimized and recovered loss above and beyond all others."

Starting in 2007, the ATA recognized both a truckload (TL) and a less-than-truckload (LTL) carrier with awards. ABF won the LTL division, while Roehl won the Truckload honor. ABF also earned the Excellence in Claims/Loss Prevention Award in 2005, 2002 and 2001. This is the third year in a row for Roehl, which also won it in 2006 and 2007.
