Marshfield WI ? Roehl Transport headquartered in Marshfield WI has been awarded

Great West Risk Management?s highest honor for safety. The Platinum Safety Award is

based on accident and safety statistics.

Safety at Roehl is evaluated in terms of both the number and severity of accidents. In

addition the company looks at several other measurements such as DOT inspection

reports and drivers? records Roehl executive vice president Bob Rader explained. He

noted that by industry standards the company has an exceptionally high number of

drivers with Million Miles Safe Driving awards.

?Roehl?s leading safety record reflects the fact the company holds safety as its

cornerstone value? Rader said. ?Safety is the primary consideration underlying every

decision and action in the company. We live by that value and no extenuating

circumstances are ever allowed to supercede it.? That core value commitment led the

company to develop a proprietary safe driving program that goes beyond defensive

driving with an emphasis on protective driving. ?The goal is not just to avoid being

involved in an accident but driving in a manner that protects others from accidents?

Rader explained.

?Roehl?s unique approach to the ideal of safety benefits the company our drivers and the

motoring public? he added.
