Truck Sales

Richard Uribe| Truck Sales Richard Uribe is our newest member of the sales team, but he is by no means new to the industry.  Richard is originally from the San Fernando Valley, and has been in and around the transportation business for 30+ years as a Technician, Fleet Manager, Fleet Owner, Salesman, and Sales Manager.  He has spent the last 13 years at 2 different local class 8 dealerships, and is now taking on a new challenge here at Tom’s Truck Center selling class 5, 6, and 7 vehicles, specializing in the Hino product line.  He is looking forward to this new opportunity and becoming a part of the Tom’s Truck Center family. Brad Skarsten| Used Truck Manager Brad Skarsten has worked for Tom’s Truck Center since 1990; 16 of those years were spent in the Service Department as a Service Advisor and Technician, and in 2006 he moved over to  Sales.  Brad is an ASE certified Master Automotive and Truck Technician, and with this experience he is able to guide customers to the correct truck for their needs.  Brad has a wife and 2 daughters, was born in Minnesota, but raised in Garden Grove, and was the youngest of 14 children!  Kirk Tyler | Used  Truck Sales   Kirk Tyler has worked for Tom’s Truck Center for the last 2 years as both a Used Truck Wholesaler and as an Inside Sales Person.  He has been in this industry for about 7 years working with other truck dealers and as a truck buyer at wholesale auctions.  Prior to working in the transportation industry, Kirk held management positions at both First Interstate Bank and Sanwa Bank of California.  Kirk grew up in Northern California, and has attended schools in both Northern and Southern California. Oz Molina | New Truck Sales Oz Molina joined Tom’s Truck Center in 2004, and is involved in the fleet and retail sales/leasing for all of our lines here at the dealership.   His sales and leasing career in the transportation industry spans over 35 years; he began at CrockerBank (now Wells Fargo) Lease Plan in Northern California, where his job was to successfully retain and develop new lease business in the auto fleet and equipment portfolio.  Wanting to move to Southern California he joined Lend Lease as a District Sales Manager; after 10 years with them he was given the opportunity to join Ryder Systems, the largest Full Service Truck lease company in the country, in which he sold full service leases on medium and heavy duty trucks for 13 years.  At this point Oz took the opportunity to retire from Ryder, but as he puts it “my lovely wife of 39 years Inger sent me back to work, ergo Tom’s Truck Center.”  And we are happy to have him.  Oz is fluent in Spanish, having been born and raised in Argentina; he has been in America since the age of 17. Mike Conte | Truck Sales Mike Conte has been with Tom’s Truck Center for over 15 years, and has been in the Medium Duty Truck business for over 21 years.  He has obtained either Platinum or Gold Level achievements for Isuzu Truck Sales in each of the last 11 years.  Mike specializes in Isuzu trucks, but is also certified and has a strong working knowledge of Mitsubishi Fuso, GMC and Hino Trucks.  Born in Pittsburgh, PA, Mike is a huge Steelers fan, and now is presently living in Irvine, CA.
