    The company I drive for switched over to Freightliner cascadias a couple years ago. Now they are contemplating going to Mack and Volvo. The Cascadias are really junk and uncomfortable. Drove one a few weeks ago because my KW was in for warranty issues. I couldn’t wait to get out of that thing!

    That's a shame, FLs used to be great trucks. Hey, tell the boss, a Mack or a Volvo is going to be the same $#i+, different shovel.
