The military wrapped trailer is available to local organizations and events that are also looking to bring awareness to military heroes. The military trailer was recently used to deliver donated items in the “Titletown To Texas” Hurricane Relief Drive. CTS partnered with Midwest Communications radio stations, the Green Bay Police Department, and others in the area to collect hurricane relief items for Rockport, Texas. Initially, organizers thought they would fill one or two trucks. But the community’s outpouring of support left them with enough donations to fill seven semis. CTS donated the semis and trailers. Dozens of the company’s drivers volunteered to take the trucks down to the flood zone, a trip that would potentially put the home-every-night drivers away from their family for a week. It was estimated that the company would be taking a hit equivalent to $50k with the 7 drivers, trucks, and trailers out of commission to do the day to day freight hauling for a week.

CTS President Curt Reitz tells Action 2 News he was overwhelmed by the outpouring of support from the community. “It was huge, because this originally started out as, ‘hey, would you be willing to donate two trailers?’” But it didn’t take long to realize that wouldn’t suffice. “So I’m running more trailers. It ended up being a total of seven. It was a shocker, but the good thing was we had the 30 drivers that said they would go,” Reitz says.

Thank you for giving back!
