    From what ive researched with these 2 companies Roehl seems to be the winner with me. Bennies are better and Roehl has more options if you decide to try somthing different such as flatbed,7/7,7/4 etc. lots of options at Roehl. From what ive read dry van only at T/A. Just my thoughts on it. Good luck in your decision.

    TA is all van. And mostly short runs. 70% of their loads are under 400 miles. Roehl has a much better program and reputation with the DOT. TA has had 10 rollovers so far this year. That should tell you something.

    TA has a pretty decent safety record.

    29 versus 23 for Roehl, low numbers being better..........
