Safety is Roehl's Cornerstone Value
Alan Matyka recently surpassed another incredible milestone as a truck driver by logging over 5 million miles without an accident.
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.”
A humble man, Alan continued to improve by paying attention to what others are doing and understanding how he can do things smarter. Now, after 40 years, Alan becomes Roehl’s second driver to log 5 million safe miles.
Looking back on his driving career, Alan noted, “Everything you’ve got in life is attributed to having a good, steady job.” Alan has two children - Katie and Wade. He also has one granddaughter, Olivia.
As Alan looks to his future, he sees taking care of many projects around his home. Of course, he still likes to work the fields and mow his lawn. “I’m going to go home and mow the grass and watch it grow for once,” he shared.
Congratulations to Alan Matyka on 5 million safe miles with Roehl Transport.
