Cargo Trailer Sales Inc. In 1987, Paul and Trish Woglom opened Cargo Trailer Sales Inc, a semi-trailer dealership that specialized in sales, leasing, and semi-trailer parts.  A decade later, they transitioned into cargo and utility trailer sales, restructuring the company to be retail sales oriented.  Since then, Cargo Trailer Sales has grown to be one of the premier locations for specialty trailer sales, custom fabrication and an extensive parts showroom.  Eight years ago, their son, Mike, came to work in the business and he now manages the dealership and their 15 employees.  Cargo acquired property in 2016 to expand their stock inventory and parts by over 80%.  Their inventory includes stackers, high-end motorsports trailers, fiber optic splicing units, and aluminum toy haulers.  They’ve also had tremendous success in the snow equipment business, selling and installing around 80-140 Boss Plows each season.  While they’ve enjoyed the distinction of being a top ten dealer for ATC over the past 5 years, Mike has prioritized the company’s long-term sustainability over awards and plaques.  “My advice to dealership managers and owners would be to focus on things like margin vs markup, opportunity costs, inventory management, and other factors that lend themselves to healthy and profitable growth.” TRAILER TYPES CARRIED: Motorsports, Cargo, Utility, Dump, Car Haulers, Toy Haulers, Specialty & Custom Cargo Trailer Sales Inc.
