Ricky’s path to HOLT CAT began as a customer and end user of CAT diesel power. When he transitioned to working as a technician, he knew he’d found a long-term home. “HOLT CAT gave me the opportunity to change careers and support the product as a technician. At that point, I knew this would be my home.”
