Safety Culture
The industry's leading safety program
Safety is our Cornerstone Value
Safety is not just your responsibility
It is not enough that you’re safety-conscious. It takes the commitment and support of the entire company to keep drivers safe on the road. You need to know: that safety is the first consideration in the equipment you’re provided and the policies and operations that shape your day; that you have the final word on road conditions, no questions by Fleet Management or customer service; that no one will compromise safety even a little bit in the name of saving money, time efficiency or any other objective.
The trucking industry's leading safety program
At Roehl, safety is our cornerstone value—the first and foremost consideration in every thing we do, no matter what. That’s why we’ve gone well beyond “off-the-shelf” defensive driving programs and developed the concept of “protective driving.” Roehl drivers don’t just try to avoid accidents; they drive to actively protect themselves and others.
The Roehl Way Protective Driving Program™ is the most advanced safe driving program in the industry and has resulted in a dramatic reduction in accident rates.
The trucking industry's top safety record
In 2008, the American Trucking Associations (ATA) identified Roehl as the nation’s safest large carrier with the President’s Trophy. And in March of 2009, Roehl received the Truckload Carrier Association's (TCA) Annual National Fleet Safety Grand Prize. Roehl’s DOT compliance record is among the best in the industry. In fact, Roehl’s SAFE-STATE score (compare at www.safersys.org) is consistently at or near the top.
