The Ramler Team
Chris Ramler
PresidentBeen in the trucking industry my entire life, as I am a part of the 3rd generation to run the company. I have washed trucks, drove truck, scheduled loads, dispatched drivers, and eventually moved into a management position. My wife and three children keep me busy away from work, but if I do have some free time, I enjoy working in my shed, deer hunting, ice fishing, side by siding at the family cabin, and hanging out with friends and family at the lake.
Eric Ramler
Vice President
My whole life I have been around the trucking industry starting as a truck washer, working into repairs, becoming a driver at the age of 18, eventually moved into an office position as a dispatcher and then became a part of management. Along with all other duties, I currently take care of our flat bed division and I try to get into a truck at times to “relax” from the hectic office. Away from work, my wife and 3 kids enjoy spending time outside by four wheeling and traveling. In the fall, you will find me sitting in a tree with my bow and waiting for the ever-allusive white tail deer or headed to take a hunting trip.
