Roehl Transport's safety record earned the carrier the American Trucking Associations top honors in two divisions. The Marshfield, Wis.-based trucking company's van division was recognized as the safest
in the nation among large carriers (over 100 million miles), while the company's flatbed division achieved the same distinction in the over 10 million miles category.
"Qualifying for two divisions and being the top company in both says safety runs throughout the entire company, it's not just exclusive to one division or operating unit," said John Spiros, Roehl's vice president of Safety and Claims Management.
The company has been recognized as one of the safest in the nation by multiple industry and government sources over the course of several years. "These awards are not the result of luck; they represent consistent performance based on a steadfast companywide focus on operating safely, plus the superior training and skill of our drivers," he said.
"The American Trucking Associations' Safety Awards are not subjective," ATA President Bill Graves noted. "They are based on hard facts and figures; you either had an exemplary safety record or you didn't. Roehl Transport's commitment to safety has made our roadway's safer and the proof is the numbers," he said.
With more than 1,700 trucks on the road coast-to-coast each day, Roehl ranks among the 100 largest trucking companies in the U.S.
