RTS Reaches 4 Million Safe Driving Miles

Ros Transportation ServicesIn the United States, there are approximately four million miles of roads.  Recently, Ross Transportation Services, Inc. (RTS) achieved the milestone of safely traveling on the equivalent of every road in the United States!

“Safety and professionalism have always been the hallmark of RTS. Our drivers, technicians and office staff exemplify these traits every day. I am unbelievably proud of our associates and what they do. RTS has the best there are. My thanks to them all.”  Bill Cromling III, President of RTS

RTS reached four million safe driving miles as a fleet by averaging 2,740 miles per day over the last four years.  This is the equivalent of driving from Cleveland, Ohio to the tip of Florida and back seven days a week, 52 weeks a year for four years.  These represent the consecutive miles driven without an RTS driver being at fault in any crashes.

“My appreciation goes out to each and every one of our drivers.  They are the men and women behind the wheel for up to 11 hours a day dealing with orange barrels, weather, traffic and other motorists.  They work irregular times with a fluid schedule.  They are responsible for dealing with all of the challenges a regular driver faces on a daily basis in addition to a 53 foot long trailer loaded with hazardous waste.  They manage all of these challenges and then must represent the Ross Group wherever they go.  These 14 individuals always do it in a professional and respectable manner.  So, thank you and congratulations to:

Next time you see a driver, please congratulate them for helping us to continue to be the safest transportation company in our industry,” Chris Fada, RTS General Manager.

Safety is, and always will be, the number one priority at the Ross Group of companies.
