At Nuss Truck & Equipment, we take pride in the people behind the work—and today, we’re proud to recognize one of our own.
Haylie Colby, painter at our East Bethel Collision Center, has been named the inaugural recipient of the Women’s Industry Network (WIN) Founding Mothers Award—a national honor recognizing excellence, leadership, and commitment to the craft of collision repair.
This award highlights technicians and painters who are actively working on the shop floor while demonstrating exceptional skill, mentorship, and dedication to the industry.

Built on Skill, Precision, and Growth
In just three years, Haylie has established herself as a top-performing painter at Nuss. Starting part-time and quickly advancing into a full-time role, she has built a reputation for:
- High-quality finishes and attention to detail
- Strong work ethic and accountability
- Continued learning and technical growth
She has expanded her role beyond daily production—taking on responsibilities like managing paint inventory and helping train others in the shop.

Leading by Example
Haylie’s impact goes beyond her work.
As one of the few women in the shop, she plays an important role in supporting her teammates and helping create an environment where others feel welcomed into the trade. Her leadership, attitude, and willingness to step up reflect what we value across all Nuss locations.

Recognized Across the Industry
The WIN Founding Mothers Award was created to recognize individuals who represent the future of collision repair—those who are actively building their craft while helping others succeed.
As part of the award, Haylie will receive:
- Professional tools and equipment
- An all-expenses-paid trip to the WIN Annual Conference
- Additional support for continued professional development
She will be honored at the 2026 WIN Annual Conference in Tucson, Arizona.
A Reflection of Our Team
Haylie’s recognition is a reflection of the talent and culture across Nuss Truck & Equipment. From our body shops to our service teams to our sales organization, we’re committed to building careers, supporting growth, and delivering quality work every day.
