W900??

I drive a few different trucks at my job. I drove an '02 W900 once, I went on one run with it hauling about 40k of metal and returned it back to the customers after that one run, telling them never ever will I drive that POS truck. I was handed their 88 Western Star and drove that for the entire week. That WS was so beaten up, that no one wanted to drive it at the customer's place but it had the most confortable seat, the Mirrors were perfect for the work and the cab was roomy - I just enjoyed driving it. OH and it was the only truck where the air conditioning worked.

 

Driving in rush hour traffic in jacksonville will get on your nerves with 9,000 gallons of gasoline behind you.

I start my day at 4pm so as soon as I load my first load I'm in traffic at 5.

When I first started I was nervous as heck but now I can run around and not think much of it. I still drive carefully but I'm more relaxed. It beats flatbed with tarping but I still have to work in the weather. We deliver in hurricanes, rain, snow, whatever mother nature throws at us.

I love my job but I hate driving these cascadias. I try to get into a t660 when I can. They're slower and less powerful than the DD13 in the cascadia but they ride better
