Truck drivers, Duane Asmus and Ron Berkel of Ross Transportation Services (RTS), recently reached 1 million and 2 million Consecutive Safe Driving Miles, respectively. These incredible achievements mean that Asmus and Berkel accumulated those millions without a single traffic incident.
“Our drivers’ commitment to safety is unparalleled,” said Chris Fada, General Manager of RTS. “Ron and Duane choose to make safety their highest priority every day. Those choices have led to these amazing milestones, and I’m proud I get to work with these amazing drivers every day.”
Asmus started driving for RTS in September of 2013 and Berkel in May of 2001.
With consistently changing routes, weather conditions, heavy traffic and construction areas, the RTS drivers must constantly adapt to new scenarios while hauling vessels loaded with hazardous materials.
It took Asmus 10 years to hit his first million and Berkel 9 years to add on his second million.
Asmus is the seventeenth driver for RTS to earn 1 million safe driving miles. Berkel is the third driver in RTS history to be in the 2-million-mile category for safe driving.
“To drive that many miles is one thing, but to also consistently exceed safety standards while doing it is beyond impressive,” said William Cromling III, President of RTS and Owner. “I’m so thankful to have these guys in our Ross family. They really are a level above.”
