Positioning Statement -- "Unconventional. Uncompromising."

As stated in Bering's Corporate Identity Standards Manual, also written by Writing Answers, the Bering positioning statement, "Unconventional. Uncompromising," was created to communicate Bering's powerful, unique and uncompromising commitment to quality truck design, driver comfort, value and customer service. In addition, it was strategically meaningful to the target audience in that Bering Trucks featured a brand-new cab design that was unlike the style commonly known in the industry as "conventional cab design." Bering cabs were quite literally "unconventional," which also effectively communicated Bering's unique point of difference.
