Roehl Transport Once Again Recognized as one of the Nation’s Safest Trucking Companies! Roehl Transport has won an unprecedented 5th President’s Award from the American Trucking Associations (ATA). The prestigious award, which is given annually to the trucking company that is judged most outstanding on the basis of safety record, programs and community outreach, means Roehl Transport is one of North America’s safest trucking companies as recognized by the American Trucking Associations (ATA). Roehl Transport is a 5-time recipient of the ATA’s President’s Award, the trucking industry’s highest safety honor.
Alan Matyka recently surpassed another incredible milestone as a truck driver by logging over 5 million miles without an accident. He drove every one of those miles with Roehl Transport, one of North America’s safest trucking companies as recognized by the American Trucking Associations (ATA). Alan joins an elite group of hundreds of drivers at Roehl who have accomplished 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and even 6-million miles of accident-free driving. A flatbed driver, Alan joined Roehl Transport in March of 1984, after a friend started working for the company. At the time, there were maybe 140 drivers, and Alan recalls the first other Roehl driver he spoke with over the CB was Rick Roehl, somewhere in Michigan. A lot has changed over the years, both in the trucking industry and at the company. Roehl has grown to over 3,000 teammates and Rick Roehl is now CEO, but Alan’s safe driving practices have endured. "Alan demonstrates our cornerstone value of safety with every mile he drives. Thank you for your commitment, professionalism and dedication,” said CEO Rick Roehl. Alan grew up on a farm in Wisconsin, and he knew at a young age that he wanted to drive because “being a truck driver just “fit” him.” Whether it was driving a tractor, a lawn mower or a truck, Alan said, “I’ve got to have a steering wheel in my hands. You can always look back and see what you’ve done.”
John Moeller, a professional truck driver with Roehl Transport, recently achieved a truly impressive milestone: driving over 6 million miles without an accident. John joined Roehl in 1979, and over the years, his safe driving practices have protected millions of people on the roadways. “Our company is built upon our cornerstone value of safety, and John has lived that value with every mile he’s driven. Thank you, John, for your dedication to our industry, to our company and for driving to protect others,” said CEO Rick Roehl. In addition to being the first Roehl driver to log six million accident-free miles, John was the first Roehl Transport driver to achieve 3, 4 & 5 million safe miles. John’s also been honored with many other company awards in his career, and he was named the 2011 Truckload Carriers Association's (TCA) Company Driver of the Year. Currently a Curtainside National Fleet driver, John spent decades securing and tarping loads as a flatbed driver for the company, and in 2009, he delivered Roehl’s very first delivery to Alaska. John and his wife, Debbie, have been married for more than 40 years, and they live in Marshfield, Wisconsin. They have three children – Derek, Jenna, and Jared. They have six grandchildren - Braedyn, Arianna, Aleigha, Jourdyn, Landon, and Carstyn. John Moeller’s commitment to the Roehl Way of Protective Driving and his more than 45 years without ever having a preventable accident exemplify being trucking professional.
