GRAPEVINE, Texas — Roehl Transport of Marshfield, Wis., and Stagecoach Cartage and Distribution of El Paso, Texas, were recognized here Monday as winners of the Volvo Trucks Safety Award.

For three consecutive years, Volvo Trucks has sought out the safest fleets in North America, recognizing their hard work and dedication with the award.

“Safety has long been a core value at Volvo, and we’re proud to share that focus with the very deserving winners of this year’s award,” said Ron Huibers, Volvo Trucks senior vice president, sales and marketing. “Roehl Transport and Stagecoach Cartage and Distribution demonstrate a deep commitment to safety throughout every layer of their organizations and their efforts truly make a difference.”

At the beginning of 2011, Volvo Trucks invited all U.S. and Canadian fleets with more than five Class 8 trucks to apply for the annual awards. The awards are given in two categories, one for fleets with less than 20 million miles of annual operation and the other for those with more than 20 million miles. Fleets were ranked by their accident frequency rates, using the U.S. Department of Transportation definition of a “recordable accident,” as well as their accident prevention programs.
