The company has hired two former employees of Myco Trailers. Jon Smiley will assume the vice president of sales role, and Ronnie Moran will take up the director of operations position.

“We knew that in order to ensure CTS’ success, we needed the best of the best in the industry on our team,” Jason Curry, CTS Custom Trailers owner, said in a statement. “I’ve known of Jon and Ronnie over the years as a trailer customer myself and knew they’d be the best fit to carry CTS to the next level.”
