Carlinville, Illinois - Karmak recently expanded its sales force by adding two regional managers to the company's sales team. The new additions will increase Karmak's presence in the Central and Southwest U.S. regions.

Phillip Hirsch is Karmak's new Regional Manager for Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, and West Virginia. Hirsch brings more than 20 years of senior management experience in the commercial truck industry, including executive positions with major rental, leasing, finance, and insurance companies. He is a former member of the Truck Renting and Leasing Association, and served on various committees within that organization. With a proven track record for expanding business, increasing revenue, and maximizing productivity on the local, national, and international scale, Hirsch was an ideal candidate for the position.

His career includes many years in the heavy-duty truck dealership and original equipment manufacturer industries, including general management, new and used vehicle sales management, parts management, and district management.
