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 merging Brock's trucking operations into Roehl but maintaining the cold storage business as a separate division, Roehl Cold Storage.[3]

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.[4]

Operations

The company has over 2,950 employees, 1,900 tractors and 5,200 trailers[5] with major terminal operations in Marshfield and Appleton, Wisconsin, the Chicago area, Atlanta, Georgia, Phoenix, Arizona, and Dallas.[6]

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.[7][8]
