Cascadia?

Classic. I watched a show they took like 10 drivers to drive the cascadia then the pro star, they're very close but the pro star won by being a little more comfortable.

You will never drive a perfect truck until you buy your own outta pocket

 

I've never actually driven a Prostar, but I've ridden in one. I would say that the cascadia is definitely quieter. The interiors are different, but both feel equally roomy to me personally. The lights in here at night aren't too bright for me, sometimes they're too dim depending on what I want to do.

I think the truck handles well, but I don't have much to compare to, since I've only driven a Cascadia. I never feel like I'm not in control, and it has never felt hard to steer really. All in all, it's not a bad truck. If you get a fuel bonus through your company, you'll see more money there, the Cascadia has the Prostart beat in fuel mileage as far as I know. I'm getting around 7.3 mpg in mine pulling a 42,000 lb load over flat areas.

 

The company I work for is Supermaz, which we pull Hirschbach trailers. Every driver who drives Freightliner cascadia say they are more comfortable than prostar.

 

I got 8.9 mpg on my 2012 cascadia.

 

I put 40k miles on a brand new '13 Cascadia at my previous job before switching to a much better company. Hands down the best truck I ever drove. Very comfortable, extremely quiet ride, insulated out the ying yang, and the headlights....amazing field of vision at night. I've driven several trucks and many makes but as a company driver the Cascadia worked well for me. I say company driver because although I treat them like my own, I could care less about the "cost per mile" and all that non sense. That's for the owner to deal with.

When I switched companies I ended up in a brand new Peterbilt 386 and wasn't pleased as my '11 587 was a heavy pile of junk that quickly detoriated into a group of loose fitting parts that didn't like each. The 386 seems to be manufactured by a whole different company. Much better craftsmanship and durability.

 

If the Prostar won for comfort then it must have been for the storage space. I currently have a 2013 Cascadia and it is a much smoother ride than my previouse Prostar was but the Cascadia doesnt have nearly as much storage space as the Prostar did. Also, the Cascadia doesnt even come close to the power that the Prostar had but does get much better fuel mileage. The Cascadia seems to have a difficult time climbing hills even when empty. I still prefer the Cascadia though. It just seems to be more solidly constructed. Both trucks were assigned to me brand new so I am able to make a fair comparison.

 

I was in a Cascadia today, my company is going to them. Where in the hades, do you put a microwave at??? Am currently in a 2007 9200i and gotta tell ya.... gonna hate moving out of this truck cause the storage is GREAT!!!!!

 

It doesnt have a spot for a microwave. I tossed mine out since I rarely used it anyway.
