A story of a Trucking Family giving back.

Excellent story of the King’s family dedication to supporting fellow Truckers. Can’t wait to hear more stories of Cat Truckers with high values and loyalty to their profession.

Cat Truckers are loyal to Caterpillar Engines and the Cat Truck Engine Team is committed to keeping Truckers on the road.
