Roehl Transport drivers earn $3.5M for safety

Jan. 28, 2022

In 2021, more than 90% of Roehl drivers who were eligible for accident-free pay earned it. The company expects to pay more in 2022.

Roehl Transport plans to pay company driving teammates more than $3.5 million in safety incentives in 2022. That amount is based on how much the company paid drivers in 2021 after a sweeping increase in accident-free pay.

Roehl drivers earn accident-free pay when they do not have preventable accidents and complete all assigned training in a timely manner. Instead of having to wait to receive a quarterly or other bonus, Roehl drivers earn additional cents per mile for each accident-free mile they drive, as they drive them.

“At Roehl, safety is synonymous with professionalism,” CEO Rick Roehl said. “Safety is our cornerstone value, and we reward our driving teammates for their professionalism as they drive. Our drivers are leaders in safety, productivity, and pay.”

Operationalizing safety has earned Roehl Transport industry recognition, including the President’s Award from American Trucking Associations (ATA) for the fourth time. Roehl was the first truckload carrier to win the award and the only one to win it more than once.

Long known as the “Take Home More, Be Home More” carrier, Roehl has also added hundreds of home daily, home weekly, and dedicated truck driving jobs across the company’s dry van, refrigerated, flatbed, and curtain-side divisions.
