^Reliability

    ^{Caterpillar's reliability is due to the overwhelming time put into every machine.  Every machine is put through extensive testing.  Cat's state-of-the-art equipment tests various variables while the machine is running.  One machine tests vibrations in the transmission to see the life span of that particuar piece of equipment.}  

^Competence

    ^{Every one of Caterpillar's mechanics go through their initial degree program to be a diesel mechanic.  After they are through, they attend a school put on by Cat to be trainied on the repair of the equipment.}

^{Credibility
 
    Cat has been a long time industry leader.  They have built a good reputation for themselves over the past 75 years.}
