Current earthmoving and fine grading processes
are labor intensive and dependent on survey
manpower and instrumentation. Maintaining
consistent grade level between grade stakes is
challenging, even for experienced operators.
Machine Control and Guidance systems reduce
survey labor requirements and help operators
work to the design plan by accurately cutting,
filling and reducing material removal/replacement
costs.
Thompson Tractor and Caterpillar recently held
a hands-on Demo Days for AccuGrade Machine
Control and Guidance technology. Several
employees from Thompson Tractor (Jeff Smith,
Blake Smith, Brian Laughlin, Adam Jones and
John Freeman (retired)) and Southern Precision
(Billy Kirk) removed the topsoil from a hayfield
and began the initial earthmoving for a soccer
field and running track in Remlap, Alabama.

Approximately 125 customers were in
attendance from all over Thompson’s sales
territory. The machines being demonstrated
onsite were two dozers (D6T XW and D6K XL),
two motor graders (140M and 140H) and a 330D
L excavator. The three-day event displayed the
latest in AccuGrade GPS and laser technology on
Caterpillar® machines.
Both Caterpillar and Southern Precision sent a
team of experts to the jobsite to assist in educating
the customers about the latest technology
available. Southern Precision is the Trimble
dealer for Alabama, Georgia and Florida.
Contractors were divided into small groups
to learn more about the technologies on each
machine. The three forms of machine control
technologies on display were the AccuGrade
GPS, AccuGrade laser and Trimble® UTS
systems. The customers were trained on the
GPS/Laser infrastructure components, digital site
plans and system operations inside the cab. The
engineers and construction crews could then

FALL 2008 Thompson Tractor Co.
Mauldin Paving Products
Veterans in the Industry
The origins of the Mauldin product
date back to post World War II home
construction. Hubert Mauldin, (father
to Neil and Gene), designed and
built a drag box paver for use by
his construction company building
government specification homes
for returning World War II veterans
in the late 1940s. This design was
eventually sold to Puckett Brothers.
After developing a walk-behind roller,
Hubert Mauldin formed Mauldin
Manufacturing Company in 1962. The
Mauldin family successfully built and
operated this company for 27 years. In
1989 the company was sold to a textile
conglomerate, which with recessionary
economic conditions, an aging product
and poor management, sent the
company into bankruptcy within four
years. Neil and Gene Mauldin took
the company out of bankruptcy and
formed Mauldin Brothers Equipment,
Inc. in 1993. One year later the Calder
family purchased the company.
In 2001 the company was renamed
Calder Brothers Corporation, signaling
the outside, that this is a family owned
and operated business, and plans to
keep it that way! The Mauldin brand
continues to be used.
In 2007 the shares of Pavement
Services Inc. were acquired. This
acquisition increased the in-house
industry experience as well as rounded
out the Mauldin product offering.
Today the Calder and Thielbar
families own Mauldin. Glen Calder
is in charge of Operations. Dave
Thielbar runs the plant.
David
Calder is the head of the Research
and Development Engineering team.
Cameron Calder manages Sales and

Lynn Carter of Southeast Cherokee Construction earns Small Business Person of the Year
and a Trip to the White House.
You know you’ve made it in the
business world when your construction
company’s performance earns you a
seat in a White House audience for
a speech on business issues by the
president. That’s the case with Lynn
Carter, who earlier this year attended
a week of business-related activities
organized by the Small Business
Administration (SBA) in Washington,
D.C.
Carter, owner and president of
Southeast Cherokee Construction,
received the invitation after being
named 2008 Alabama Small Business
Person of the Year. The award from the
Alabama District of the SBA recognizes
outstanding achievement in business
and community service. She was
nominated by Troy State University’s
Small Business Development Center.
Southeast Cherokee is headquartered
in Wetumpka, Ala., and has offices
in Montgomery and Abbeville, Ala.
The firm focuses on general and
heavy construction and operates in
two divisions: The horizontal division
handles site work and road grading
and paving, while the vertical division
oversees building construction. About
60 percent of the company’s business
falls into the horizontal division.
Broad Applications
Carter’s parents founded Southeast
Cherokee in 1983. Carter and her
brother assumed control of the
company in 1987, and she bought his
interest in the firm to become sole
owner in 1992.
In the early years, the work included
mostly road construction for the
Alabama Department of Transportation.
State highway projects remain a
part of the company’s business, but
Carter expanded Southeast Cherokee’s
capabilities and horizons, and a lot of
work is now done for military bases
and Environmental Protection Agency
facilities throughout the Southeast.
In addition, Southeast Cherokee has
built golf courses, runway expansions,
wastewater treatment facilities, solid

Sales Manager; Hardy Traylor/Sales Representative; Southeast Cherokee
Construction, Inc., Jerry Carter/ Operations Manager; Lynn Carter/President;
Randy Davis/Horizontal Division Operations Manager
waste landfills, subdivisions and
numerous commercial developments
for private-sector clients. The
projects include massive earthmoving operations, storm drainage
and underground utilities, as well as
asphalt and concrete paving.
Southeast Cherokee, which started
with 12 employees, has grown to
as many as 73, though the number
fluctuates between peak and off-peak
periods.
Key Decisions
In 1999, the company received the
SBA’s 8(a) Business Development
program classification along with
HubZone and Small Disadvantaged
Business
certifications.
The
designations qualified Southeast
Cherokee to compete for work set
aside for women-and minority-owned
businesses and to negotiate for solesource government contracts under $3
million.
Working through both competitive
bidding and sole-source negotiations,
Southeast Cherokee won numerous
federal contracts with the Defense
Department and the EPA. Carter says
the company’s performance on those
jobs earned the respect of private
developers, leading to additional
commercial and industrial contracts.
Part of the criteria for winning
the Small Business Person of the
Year award is a company’s financial
performance. Southeast Cherokee’s
annual gross revenue has jumped from
$500,000 to millions under Carter’s
leadership.
She says a move to reliable
Caterpillar® equipment helps ensure
that the increasing gross revenue translates to growing profit. “Downtime
resulting from malfunctioning equipment can cost the business more than
the price of the mechanical repairs.
We don’t have that worry with our Cat
machines,” she adds.
Southeast Cherokee owns most of
its 50 pieces of heavy equipment, and
Carter says the company turns over its
Cat® machines — including backhoes,
dozers, loaders, excavators and motor
graders — every three to five years to
take advantage of their excellent resale
and trade-in value.
Another method for avoiding
equipment problems and enhancing
resale value is having Southeast
Cherokee’s
Caterpillar
dealer,
Thompson Tractor Co. of Montgomery,
Ala., regularly test oil samples from
the Cat equipment. Carter says her
company uses the test results to guide
equipment maintenance and sale or
trade-in decisions.
The combination of sales and support
provided by Thompson Tractor makes
the dealer a good fit for Southeast
Cherokee’s team approach to business,
Carter says, with Thompson sales and
service representative Hardy Traylor
providing a vital link.
She credits a team approach as a
critical success factor at Southeast
Cherokee, pointing to the contributions
made by everyone from hard-working
field crew members to her husband
Jerry, the company’s vice president,
and the two division managers, Randy
Davis and Don Skipper.
The Road Show
Although winning the 8(a)
designation provided opportunities
for Southeast Cherokee, it guaranteed
nothing. Carter still had to win the
bids or walk through the newly opened
doors and convince procurement
officers and private developers to hire
her company.
She turned to her industry
background, where she learned
early how to read building plans
and had worked as the company’s
project estimator for years. Carter has
hired more administrative help for
the company office, enabling her to
devote more of her time to “persistent
marketing, knocking on doors and
finding opportunities,” she says.
Carter has regularly participated
in Troy State University-sponsored
sessions that bring together contractors
and vendors with government contract
administrators. “It’s a fantastic
opportunity to sit at a table for oneon-one conversations for 15 minutes,”
she says.
Carter invests time traveling
throughout the region to meet
with acquisition officers, giving
presentations
about
Southeast
Cherokee’s capabilities and track
record. She offers question and answer
periods, and asks about upcoming
opportunities for her company. She
also checks Web sites that provide
information
about
government
procurement needs and opportunities.
Having attained success in the
construction industry, Carter now
gives significant time to a widely
diverse list of professional and civic
organizations, among them the
Alabama Indian Affairs Commission,
several local Chambers of Commerce,
the American Cancer Society, the
Alabama Baptist Association, the
Alabama Wildlife Association, the
Alabama Wild Turkey Association and
the National Association of Women in
Construction.
Mostly, though, Carter remains
committed to Southeast Cherokee.
“I’m the first one in the office in the
morning, and I’m the last one to leave.
This business is my passion,” she
says.

bucket controlled by one of the three
control and guidance systems.
The GPS and UTS systems utilize the
global positioning satellites, machinemounted components, and an on-site
base station to provide the machine
operator with real time cut/fill values
to complete the job without the use of
grade stakes.
The laser system uses machinemounted components and an on-site
laser transmitter that emits a rotating
beam of light which sends a signal to
a receiver on the machine that controls
the blade position.
Each system greatly improves
productivity on the job site by
automatically controlling the blade
lift and tilt. The operator can grade
faster and with more accuracy by not
having to worry about gradestakes.

AccuGrade can increase productivity
by up to 50%.
GPS technology performs to within
1.5” accuracy. The UTS and laser
system performs within 0.25” accuracy,
thus reducing guesswork and costly
rework by moving dirt right the first
time.
As a result of discussions with and
feedback from PartStore users like
you, several improvements were made
and new features were added to Cat
PartStore, making it more convenient
and more efficient. Whether you’re new

FALL 2008 Thompson Tractor Co.
New Bass Pro Shop in Leeds, Alabama
Summit Corporation and Thompson Cat Rental Bring it to Reality
Summit Construction Company
Field Manager, Kim Worch, and
Superintendent, Steve Rusbacky,
display their construction skills at the
newest Bass Pro Shops location. Just
as the sign displayed high above them,
the giant retail store prominently faces
Interstate 20 in Leeds, Alabama, just
off Exit 140.
Kim Worch (left) Field Manager with
the Summit Group; Steve Rusbacky
(right) Superintendant overseeing the
construction.
Founded by Jim Gassman nearly
15 years ago, Summit Construction’s
expertise is in customizing and
renovating existing sites with a unique
approach to architecture. Summit
Construction maintains an average of
750 projects each year, with customers
in all 50 states. Recent projects have
expanded beyond the United States,
including jobs in Puerto Rico and
Canada, with upcoming projects
located throughout Europe.
Bass Pro Shops turned to Summit
Construction primarily due to their
dedication to excellence and attention
to detail. Summit Construction
oversees the finest artists in the country
on commissioned projects, including
the intricate paintings that adorn the
walls throughout many of the Bass
Pro Shops locations, giving them their
signature look.
The 190,000 square foot structure
is a collaborative project combing the
vision of the Bass Pro Shops architects
with the supervision of Kim Worch and
the team of professionals at Summit
Construction. “The owners (of Bass
Pro Shop) think in conceptual terms,”
says Worch. “Each store is geared
towards the location, whether local
stone is used for the fireplace in the
front of the store or the large fish
tank, constructed to resemble one of
Alabama’s many fishing holes,” adds
Worch.
Among other unique attractions
throughout the facility is a replica
of an old Alabama mine shaft that
overlooks the showroom floor. A
waterfall, designed to cascade over a
sidewalk into a pond, passes overhead
as customers walk from one area of the
showroom floor to another.
Architects for Bass Pro Shops
worked with specialty contractors
hired by Summit Construction to create
the visual and functional masterpieces
throughout the store. Creating artificial
outdoor scenes required the use of
many pieces of equipment, both
indoors and out. Concrete “boulders”
that border the fish tank were lifted and
moved around like giant jigsaw puzzle
pieces, to create the look and feel
of the Alabama outdoors. Large trees
that surround the steel support beams
throughout the store were lifted into
place multiple boom lifts, requiring
hours of careful placement.
The construction of the Leeds’
Bass Pro Shop began in May 2008
with a meeting between Summit
Construction’s Kim Worch and
Thompson Cat Rental Store’s Jason
Garrison. “I’ve always dealt with
the Cat Rental Stores throughout my
career in construction,” says Worch.
“When I met with Jason and the folks
at the Thompson Cat Rental Store in
Birmingham, I was impressed with
their professionalism and knowledge
of the business,” he adds.
As construction began, the size and
scope of the retail shop required the
use 19 scissor lifts for the various jobs
throughout the site. Several telescopic
boom lifts were used to assist personnel
with roofing as well as piecing together
the intricate angles on the facade of
the building. Approximately 26 pieces
of equipment were rented from the
Thompson Cat Rental Store over the
span of this project.
The
working
relationship
between Summit Construction and
the Thompson Cat Rental Store
allowed for a continuous workflow,
whether servicing equipment on site
or delivering new machines to the
contractor. “I’m old school,” says Kim
Worch. “Quality means something to
me, and Thompson proved that quality
is something they believe in. From the
service technician on-site to the people
at the rental store, everyone’s attitude
was nothing less than professional, and
that means a lot,” adds Worch.
The professionalism of Summit
Construction, and the relationship
with the Thompson Cat Rental Store,
extends to the owners of Bass Pro
Shops. The owners work hand in hand
with the contractors, vendors, and
artists to create an environment that
is pleasing to each customer. Details
such as the Bass Pro Shop’s signature
murals, flowing indoor waterfalls,
and finally detailed taxidermy are all
overseen by the staff of Bass Pro Shops
and Summit Construction.
The combined efforts of Summit
Construction, the Thompson Cat Rental
Store and Bass Pro Shops ensure that
customers will walk into the newest
store and feel as if they are truly
experiencing the Alabama outdoors.
Customers will no doubt experience
the sense of quality and excellence that
Summit Construction, the Thompson
Cat Rental Store and Bass Pro Shops
provide to their customers.

Parts and Service
Second to None
Continued
Commitment
The future is at hand and Caterpillar® will be
riding with you every mile of the way
With You for the
Long Term
Legendary Cat® service and support for the life of your Cat engines
F
or more than 40 years, Caterpillar
and Cat Dealers have participated
in the on-highway truck engine market,
and enjoyed outstanding relationships
with customers like you.
Caterpillar and its world-class
network of Cat Dealers and authorized
service facilities will continue to
provide superior product support and
service for all Caterpillar® on-highway
engines in any truck chassis.
“For more than 40 years, our
customers have come to expect goldstandard product support and service,”
says George Taylor, director and
general manager, Caterpillar Global
On-Highway. “We will continue to
provide that industry-leading support
and service for the 1.6 million Cat
engines on the road today well beyond
2010.
“Cat parts availability, training and
support will continue to be available
to OEM truck dealers and authorized
service centers that currently serve
you and your fleet.”
With more than 2,200 authorized
Caterpillar truck engine service
locations in North America, you
will continue to receive prompt and
convenient access to Caterpillar parts
and service—no matter where or
when you need it.
You also have the assurance of
knowing that truck engine product
support technicians will continue
to receive training in electronic
truck engine diagnostics, servicing
on-highway Cat® engines with
ACERT® Technology the Cat
warranty process and other critical
service areas.
In addition, you will also still be able to
take advantage of our popular support
programs, such as AccountExpress,
Pure Advantage,Overhaul Protection
for Trucks and financing from Cat
Financial. Some of the Extended
Service Coverage programs are even
transferable to a new owner.
And when it comes to parts quality,
you will still have access to genuine
Caterpillar engine parts that are
designed and manufactured to work
together efficiently as a complete
system with the designed-in strength
to be rebuilt for a second life.
Although the care and precision that
go into manufacturing Cat parts may
not be visible to the naked eye, test
after test identifies critical design
advantages in Cat engine parts
compared to will-fit parts. The result is
better performance and longer service
life. In addition, design updates
are included and manufacturing
techniques are continually improved
to ensure you receive state-of-theart new and Cat Reman parts every
time.
Y
And we’ll continue to search for
ways to reduce fuel costs—whether
through parts and service or utilizing
technology such as Cat Messenger,
which provides a real-time readout of
fuel-consuming factors such as rpm,
idle time and others.
Thank you for your business. Please
stop in or give us a call if you
have any questions. We look forward
to continuing to meet your engine
needs, as well as being the provider
of your “gold-standard” parts and
service support well beyond 2010.

and sell Cat Heavy Duty on-highway truck
engines to North American customers

Because we’re not on a specific route every

Combilift Products
Now Part of Thompson Lift Truck Division
Thompson Lift Truck has been
named as the Combilift dealer for 34
counties in South Alabama and NW
Florida. Thompson Lift Truck has
had great success with the Combilift
product line in our Georgia territory,
and we are excited to bring this product
across the state-line.
Located in Monaghan, Ireland, the
Combilift Company was formed in
1998 by highly qualified engineers,
Martin McVicar and Robert Moffett.
With a combined engineering
experience of over 40 years, they
used their knowledge and practical
experience to create the ultimate longload material handling solution, the
Combilift.
In just ten years Combilift has
grown to be the global leader in the
long-load handling market. Combilift
products can be found in over 50
markets worldwide and has over 9,000
units in operation.
The Combilift main benefits
include:
• Safer Product Handling - The
Combilift is designed to handle long
loads safely. By eliminating the need
to travel with long loads lifted high,
the units provide greater stability. Its
integrated platform with low center
of gravity also provides a more stable
base.
• Space Savings - Using patented,
leading-edge technology, Combilift
forklifts are equipped with a unique
7
need for an indoor forklift and an
outdoor forklift.
For more information, contact
your local lift truck sales rep
or call 1-800-CAT-LIFT.

4-way steering system that allows the
units to travel sideways with long
loads. This system gives the user
multi-directional capability, delivering
possible space savings of up to 100%.
• Long Load Handling - The
Combilift eliminates the unnecessary
multiple handling of goods by being
able to maneuver easily through
doorways that are narrower than the
load it carries. This results in less
product damage and safer handling
as well as eliminates the need for
oversized doorways or conveyors.
• Indoor and Outdoor Use (semirough terrain) - Combilift operates
equally efficiently both indoors and
out. It is available with a fuel-efficient
LPG or diesel engine, eliminating the

Two years ago, Lisa Settembrino
(LT Rental Coordinator, Birmingham)
received a phone call from Ron
Yarbrough. Yarbrough was in charge
of the concession stands in Bryant
Denny Stadium at the University of
Alabama. Ron was in need of a lift
truck at for the upcoming football
season. Lisa, being a serious Alabama
fan, immediately decided to use one of
Thompson’s Mitsubishi forklifts that
were available from the factory, in of
all colors, red. The Mitsubishi factory,
located in Houston, may call the color
red but there was no doubt that it was
Alabama crimson.
A week later Lisa received a phone
call from Greg Hendrix at Hendrix
Ice, and he mentioned seeing the
truck that Ron Yarbrough had just
taken delivery of. Greg had asked Ron
where the lift had come from, and Ron
mentioned that there was a new Rental
coordinator at Thompson Lift Truck
in Birmingham. Ron warned him that
Lisa was originally from Boston and
she was a “little Yankee” but she’d
take good care of you. Greg ended up
renting 4 trucks and wanted them all
decorated like Yarbrough’s.
Today Lisa still rents to Hendrix
Ice but this year the University went
with a new concession company. The
new company, Center Plate, spoke to
Ron Yarbrough during the transition
period and he told them that there was
only one choice when it came time for
(L-R) Clayton Lynn (HCL) and Lisa Settembrino(Rental Coordinator,

renting their forklifts.
Before the 2008 season kicked off,
Lisa inked a deal for seven trucks
with Center Plate. The inventory was
available and the crew in Birmingham
was able to get all 7 units decaled and

RCR’s No. 31 Caterpillar Chevy
Unveiled at Chicagoland Speedway
Richard Childress Racing unveiled
at Chicagoland Speedway the No. 31
Caterpillar Chevrolet Impala SS to be
driven by Jeff Burton in the NASCAR
Sprint Cup Series beginning in 2009.
Caterpillar Inc. (NYSE:CAT)
and RCR announced June 18 that
they had entered into a multi-year
partnership for the No. 31 Chevrolet
team and Burton. Next season marks
Caterpillar’s 17th year of sponsorship
involvement in NASCAR. It will also
be Richard Childress’ 40th anniversary
in the sport.
“Brand identity is a key element to
the success of the partnership between a
sponsor and a race team,” said Richard
Childress, president and CEO of
Richard Childress Racing. “Caterpillar
kept the core of its established and
very well-known paint scheme and,
at the same time, made it unique to
the RCR program by including a Cat
product into the overall design.”
Burton, a 20-time winner in NSCS
competition, is currently third in the
2008 point standings with two wins,
seven top-five and 17 top-10 finishes
with only 4 races left to go. The No.
31 team has made the Chase for the
Championship the past two seasons,
finishing seventh in 2006 and eighth
last year.
“Fans tell us Caterpillar has one
of the most recognizable cars in
NASCAR,” said Jim Parker, vice
president of Caterpillar’s North
American Commercial Division. “RCR
is one of the most familiar names in
racing. Our new design—with Jeff
Burton behind the wheel—combines
these two distinct brands yet still adds
a fresh new look for 2009.”
RCR has earned 11 NASCAR
championships, including six in the
Cup series with the legendary Dale
Earnhardt, four in the Nationwide
Series and one in the Truck Series.
