Roehl Transport Celebrates Fifth ATA President’s Award for Safety Excellence

Roehl Transport has once again been recognized as one of the nation’s safest trucking companies, securing an unprecedented fifth President’s Award from the American Trucking Associations (ATA). This honor, awarded to companies that demonstrate exceptional safety records, programs, and community outreach, confirms Roehl Transport’s position as a safety leader in North America’s trucking industry.

On April 24, 2025, several key Roehl Transport leaders accepted the award during the ATA’s Safety Management Council’s Safety, Security & Human Resources National Convention in Louisville, Kentucky. CEO Rick Roehl, Kimberly Maes, President of Roehl Transport’s Flatbed and Specialized Division, John Spiros, Vice President of Safety and Claims Management, and Adrian Wheeler, Safety Director, were present to receive the award on behalf of all Roehl teammates.

“At Roehl Transport, safety is our cornerstone value,” Spiros shared during the ceremony. “I’m so proud of our team’s commitment to safety and to driving the Roehl Way to Protect Others.”

The ATA President’s Award represents the trucking industry’s highest safety honor, recognizing excellence across three fleet categories based on miles traveled: Under 25 Million Miles, 25 to 100 Million Miles, and Over 100 Million Miles. Roehl Transport claimed victory in the Over 100 Million Miles category, further cementing its reputation for safety at scale.

This recognition builds on Roehl’s impressive safety record, having consistently finished in the top three for safety results every year since 2003. The company made history in 2008 as the first truckload carrier to receive the President’s Award since its establishment in 1982, an honor previously dominated by less-than-truckload (LTL) fleets. Roehl Transport now stands alone as the only truckload carrier to achieve this milestone five times.

“Year-after-year and mile-after-mile, our teammates bring our value of safety to life,” Spiros said. “Winning the ATA President’s Award for the fifth time reinforces that our drivers are leaders.”

Roehl Transport offers diverse career paths for truck drivers at all experience levels. The company provides competitive positions for experienced drivers with an industry-leading combination of pay and home time. For newcomers to the industry, Roehl offers paid CDL truck driver training. Additionally, the company provides various non-driving positions to support its driving team members.

Headquartered in Wisconsin, Roehl Transport maintains major terminal facilities across the country in Arizona, Georgia, Indiana, Michigan, and Texas. The company delivers comprehensive transportation and logistics services to customers throughout North America, maintaining its commitment to safety as a fundamental operational value.

The American Trucking Associations represents thousands of trucking companies as the industry’s largest national trade association. Through a federation of 50 affiliated state trucking associations and industry-related conferences and councils, the ATA serves as the voice of the industry that America depends on most to move the nation’s freight.
