“I had the privilege of meeting Steve three years ago at NAFA,” RTA CEO Josh Turley said. “If you had told me then I would have the opportunity to work alongside him, I would have gotten a little starry eyed. I’m elated to have someone of his caliber and character represent RTA, and incredibly excited about the influence he will have for our clients and our product, by helping us apply tomorrow’s technology to the jobs fleet managers need done today. This is another testament to the energy and momentum we have building at RTA, and I’m grateful he’s going to be a part of it!”
