Roehl Transport Cited as One of Nation’s Safest Trucking Companies
What if your favorite football team took the field for the
season opener next year and 50% of the players had never played in
the pros before? Then, despite the fact that so many players were
new, your team executed almost flawlessly, beat all of the more
veteran teams in the conference and ended up in the Super Bowl?
That’s how it happens at Roehl Transport of Marshfield, Wis.
Despite the fact that almost 50% of Roehl’s rapidly expanding fleet
of drivers is new to the industry with less than a year of
professional over-the-road experience, the company turned in one of
the nation’s top safety records among large (over 100 million miles
per year) truckload carriers. In fact, Roehl was the leading “for
hire” carrier in the American Trucking Association’s (ATA) 2005
Truck Safety Awards large general commodities truckload carrier
category. Based on measurable performance such as the ratio of DOT
reportable accidents per mile driven, the award is considered the
industry’s premier honor for fleet safety.
“Like the winning football team, it’s a remarkable accomplishment
that can only be attributed to great players, top coaching and a
team culture that just won’t quit,” claimed Roehl Vice President of
Safety John Spiros.
“Roehl’s safety record starts with the right corporate values and
everything good happens from there,” Spiros said. “Our cornerstone
value is safety. It is the primary consideration of every action
and decision made in the company at all levels, all the time.
There’s never a question. We never, ever compromise safety or take
on increased risk to achieve some other goal.”
That commitment has led the company to develop an industry-leading
safe driving program. Unlike the standard “defensive” driving
programs commonly used for fleet training, Roehl’s proprietary
program elevates the driver’s role to “protective” driving. “It’s
not enough just to avoid getting caught up in an accident, our
drivers are taught to drive in a way that protects others from
getting hurt as well, even when a potentially dangerous situation
doesn’t pose a great risk to us directly,” Spiros explained. “We’re
not just steering clear of potential accidents; we drive in a way
that helps defuse the hazard.” The program emphasizes personal
responsibility and the use of seven simple techniques of protective
driving.
Closely associated with Roehl’s commitment to safety is a companion
value of driver success. “The same impulse that leads to a concern
for driver safety also underlies a commitment to top pay, more home
time, better equipment, career paths — all the things that help
drivers succeed in the job. It’s a whole package that attracts the
best drivers, both experienced and students,” Spiros said. “Their
commitment to professionalism and our training and support
perpetuates our record performance… not just in the area of safety
but in every other measure of a top quality carrier as well. It’s a
success loop.”
