Meet Nolberto Herrera, the lead shop mechanic at Southgate, CA! He has been with Quality Repair Solutions (QRS) for the past two years and brings nearly a decade of hands-on experience to the job. Before joining QRS, Nolberto focused on engine work, but a conversation with his brother-in-law changed everything. Nolberto shares, “My brother-in-law told me about this job, so I came over here. I like this job. Much simpler than working with engines.” Since making the switch, he’s found a smoother rhythm in his work and a team he enjoys being part of. With his sharp skills and steady approach, Nolberto continues to be a valuable member of our QRS shop, keeping our equipment running strong. Thanks, Nolberto, for bringing your experience, your work ethic, and your great attitude to the team every day!

Meet Jacob Pierce, a shop mechanic originally from St. Louis, Missouri, who began his journey with us in 2013 and for nearly a decade ran the Memphis, TN, QRS shop. Jacob now works for the QRS Shop in Buckeye, AZ. When asked what brought him to work in Buckeye, Jacob replied, “I always wanted to live on the West coast and when this opportunity for growth and relocation came along, I took it.” A true all-arounder, Jacob manages everything from ordering parts to fixing trailers and so much more. His efforts have helped our QRS Shop in Memphis grow into one of the largest physical locations in the United States. Jacob says, “I was kind of the trailblazer for QRS at the Memphis shop by helping to open it brand new.” He credits leaders like Scott Hunt, Vice President - Fleet Operations and Jenna Randolph, Sr. Director - Business Operations, for being a source of inspiration, sharing how they were the first ones he reached out to throughout his journey. It’s clear Jacob thrives in an environment where trust and connection are valued! Thank you, Jacob, for being a key part of our team and for all the dedication you’ve shown over the years!
