Fantastic Find

One of our customers at the Caterpillar Pontiac facility would like to thank Jesse Carter for his outstanding performance.  The customer writes: “Thank you for finding the parts in question.  You saved Caterpillar $3,100.00, plus expedited shipping costs.  Your help also avoided a machine being down for several days.  Great job and thanks again.”  Wow, Jesse, nice compliment and exceptional work!
