Rich had been with T.R.S. Industries since it was established in 1983 until eventually transitioning into retirement in December of 2023. Rich can be found cruising around in classic cars and on the lake most likely out-fishing you any day!
T.R.S. Industries was started in 1983 in the garage of Roger Cossette, Rich’s father.
In 1989 the company expanded to the Fargo Industrial Park and built a building large enough to drive a Semi Truck or trailer into the shop for repairs and installations. In 1992 and 1995 we added to the existing building to more than double our space. In 2005 T.R.S. Industries expanded to add the Fabrics Division, which was located directly behind the existing building and used for new tarp production and custom covers.
In 2009, T.R.S. Industries added a new building which housed production and the majority of the offices. The new location was 1230 40th St N, Fargo, ND. T.R.S. still had their location at 4119 14th Ave N, which was used to house installation of tarps and repair on large truck tarps.
In 2013, T.R.S. Industries added 36,000 square feet onto their new building, which increased manufacturing space to 69,000 square feet. This new addition was used to house all of the employees under one roof, in order to serve customers more efficiently. T.R.S. manufactures many of the parts for Roll Tarp Systems and stocks a wide selection of replacement tarps, lumber tarps, and steel tarps.
Today, Rich’s son, Shane handles day-to-day operations, alongside several of the Cossette children. Congratulations, Rich!

A native of Michigan and graduate of Western Michigan University, Dan started with Midwest Communications in 2006 as host of a sports radio show in the Kalamazoo area.
Founded in Wausau, Wisconsin in 1958 by Duke Wright, Midwest Communications has grown from a single station to over 78 radio stations across Middle America. In 2013, Duke realized a dream to finally own and operate a station of such history and integrity as KFGO-AM. Thus, forming Midwest Radio of Fargo-Moorhead, led by 790 KFGO, Y94, Froggy 99.9, 740 The Fan and 101.9 Jack FM.
Dan relocated to Fargo in 2013, as Director of Sales for stations in the Fargo-Moorhead area. In 2017, he accepted the VP position and Market Manager. Midwest Radio of Fargo-Moorhead’s service is grounded in three defining principles – we entertain, we inform the community and we achieve results for our advertisers.
