And they’ll finish with a safety mindset assessment, where they use the Cat App to do a walkaround and pull a parts order.

And they have a team of people who serve as mentors, who guide them and help them learn to be the ultimate troubleshooters, doing their best to figure out your problems the first time. Plus, when they work for a Cat dealer, they’ll have access to Cat engineers for the really tough challenges.
