    I heard that the Cascadia was going van/curtain and the ProStar is flat, but I don't know for sure. There were 3 ProStars in Marshfield, all decked for flat and according to the build sheet, the order was for 20 of them.

    If i can get one of those new PROSTARS maybe I would make some money and not be broke down with this old Truck over 700,000 miles is crazy. I truly don't know why i've been dealing with this for 18 months all this other companies have nice newer Turcks and I'm in a beater. :-(

    That's not cool. I will stick with my old frieghtshaker... At least it hasn't left me along side the road. I would give my right arm for a Peterbuilt.

    It really isn't cool, but what are you going to do? You remember our old truck..that thing left us on the side of the road more times than I care to count. It only went on the hook once, but it had been a nightmare from the day we picked it up. I pity the driver that is in it now.
