He comes to Karmak from Freightliner of Knoxville.

  • Ron Kiser joins Karmak as regional manager for Florida, Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina.

He most recently managed sales and marketing as northeast regional manager for International/Ford Blue Diamond Group.

  • Louie Wilmot is the new regional manager covering Arkansas, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri and Nebraska. Wilmot brings several years’ experience in the heavy-duty trucking industry to his new position, including familiarity with dealerships, leasing operations and fleet management.
