History

Everett Roehl founded Roehl Transport in 1962 with a single truck.[2]

Starting in the late 1980s, the company began offering on the job training for recent commercial drivers license (CDL) school graduates. It also founded a certified truck driving school, the Roehl Transport CDL School, later renamed the Get Your CDL Program.

In 2013, Roehl bought Brock Cold Storage and Trucking[3] merging Brock's trucking operations into Roehl but maintaining the cold storage business as a separate division, Roehl Cold Storage.[4] [5]

The company revised its driver pay calculations in 2019 to be based on address-to-address mileage. Roehl had previously used the "Practical Route Mileage" model, which calculates driver pay on city center-to-city center mileage, since 2004.[6] Driver pay was revised again in 2022, with pay raises for drivers.[7] [8]

Operations

The company has over 2,950 employees, 1,900 tractors and 5,200 trailers[9] with major terminal operations in Marshfield and Appleton, Wisconsin, the Chicago area, Atlanta, Georgia, Phoenix, Arizona, and Dallas.[10]

Sustainability

In 2013, U.S. Oil's GAIN Clean Fuels division, in partnership with Roehl, opened a compressed natural gas (CNG) station at Roehl's Gary, Indiana terminal. Roehl operates CNG-fuelled trucks from several of its terminals.[11] [12]
