    Mine's got the aluminum hood, opens easier than our company T680 and Pete 578.

    I had an '06 when I was with Lonestar. It opened easier than these cascadias too. I miss a HOOD and a gear shifter lol

    Yeah.

    Drivers were burning up clutches starting in 5th gear on a 10 speed loaded at gross weight. Guy told me they were going through a clutch every couple months in all the trucks. Most of them have only driven autos coming from Pepsi and coke.

    My only problem with this company is the automatics and they don't have owner ops so I can't so anything about it

    Can't complain too much if you're getting paid I guess. I wouldn't mind driving one just for fun, but I'd rather be jammin gears going down the highway myself...
