Yes the Cascadia's got a fridge and the radio setup like all the others.....and has the premium gauge package...and the highend seats....they are NICE!!! not your normal Fleet Cascadia.......and yes all the trucks without a visor look like they are missing something....they really need that visor..but its wind drag and affects MPG.....and Cascadia gets good MPG....without trying...

Now I knew I would have to pay lumpers but man St Louis Area is expensive....203 at sysco and 210 at US Foods thats 413 dollars in 2 stops!!>

I am going to scan this load in ASAP to get my money back..cause that #### is just plain nuts!!!

 

Sounds like a better truck than the freightshaker was driving when i went back to GSTC after i had to leave them for a while due to personal reasons..they are still running the 2005 bare bones colombias, which are falling apart, and the one i drove smelled like a sewer lol

 

@rob: we're pretty much bouncing out of rapid city, but the red bull loads are well worth the deadhead.

As far as recognizing the fls, I think our little roadkill catcher will give us away. Also, I've yet to see a K&B that's not a midroof with an attached air dam, whereas ours are full condos. Also also, we're cleaner and less prone to bending things.

Speaking of roadkill...I just about pasted 3 raccoons and a possum on the way to Olathe this morning. All the furries were having a night out, apparently.

 

ummm sai...our FLs are Midroofs....full condos have a window in the upper corners near the cab extensions....but yeah we have deer catchers...

 

Ugh sitting in line at the beacon....its going to be awhile...I'm #5 in line....#### beer loads....

 

Hm! I must have been too close to it in the shop to notice. Or I was confusing it with the red one on its way out. Sure enough, my pic proves your point.

 

Well finally done with the Wells Load.....after taking long enough to split my log....to unload me...I am now at Anheuser Busch in Granite City.....but I burned about an hour and a half sitting in line at the blue beacon for a washout cause Busch wants a clean trailer....this load is bound for Mason City and delivers tomorrow morning.....

In other news...I managed to shatter my brand new not even a week old galaxy S3 screen.....but not to worry there will be a nice replacement waiting for me at home...thanks to some friends who still work at Sprint......and also an otterbox case so this #### doesnt happen again....LOL

 

Sitting here trying to figure out who I pissed off...LOL! I have a two stop delivery tomorrow in Hazelwood and Salem, MO. Then back to Madison, IL to pick up a brokered load to Armstrong, IA for a 0600 delivery on Thursday. Total drive time from where I sit tonight in Leavenworth, IN with all my stops till Thursday morning in Armstrong at is 18 hours. With two unloads and one loading during that time. Lets just say, this will be interesting. This whole plan is to get me back to Sheldon because the check engine light is on again and she's idling a little rough.

 

well since your in the STL area...I would recommend take US 61 north to Mo27 to us218 to US18 to US169 North then to IA9 West....you'll go straight to Armstrong...and it should only take you about 8 to 9 hours.....its 4 lane until you get just past clear lake....

 

Thanks for the routing info. I called customer this morning and was told I have until 1500 tomorrow and confirmed with Sherry. Not sure why the other dispatcer told me to get there as close to 0600 as possible. I'll barely have any time left after I get loaded around 1600 today.
