The Roehl Way of Protective Driving
In 2003, Roehl Transport developed a safety philosophy called “The Roehl Way."
The Roehl Way of Protective Driving is significant because instead of "defensive driving," Roehl uses protective driving techniques, teaching drivers to predict rather than react to their surroundings. The program is also unique because safety is not treated as a "priority"[8]. Instead, safety is a personal value, which is something that doesn't change over time[9].
Roehl Transport won the American Trucking Associations' highest safety award, the President's Trophy, (2008[10] and 2011[11]). Roehl also received the Truckload Carriers Association Grand Prize for Safety two consecutive years (2008[12] & 2009[13]).
In 2011, Roehl Transport won the Volvo Trucks Safety Award as one of the safest fleets in North America.[14][15]
The Safe 7
The Safe 7 driving techniques are taught as a part of the Roehl Way of Protective Driving.
The Safe 7 are: Slow Down! Stay Back! Know What’s Happening Yield to Others Expect the Expected Prepare to Drive Reduce the Risk
Other Awards
The company's Your Choice Pay Plan was featured as an Innovator by CCJ Magazine[16] in 2014.
CCJ also featured the company's Roehl Way of Protective Driving as an Innovator in 2010.[17]
The company has been honored with multiple EPA SmartWay Awards for environmental performance and leadership.[18]
