Buying a new Cascadia

Every freight shaker rattles...

 

I believe it has to do with the harmonics of the Detroit engine.

 

Good looking trucks I'd buy then if I was a fleet owner...as a driver..I'll take the 680.

 

Nope, I'm a Freightliner guy. A very happy O/O, just wasn't sure about the automatic.

 

My 2010 Cascadia has 830,000. No rattles no problems. She just makes me $$. Getting ready to buy a new one, keeping the 2010 and putting another driver in it.

 

Great to see people being successful as O/O.
Care to share your secrets besides a reliable truck?

 

Really no secret. My maintenance is impeccable, I stay on top of my paperwork, I pull a lot of dry van hazmat, I don't pull cheap freight, no truck payment and, leased on to a great company.

 

Always wondered why freightliners were junk, then watched an episode of American Trucker where they visited a Toyota plant and said that it takes a Camry like 23 days to start from nothing then roll out into the dealership, at the Freight junker plant it takes just 8 hours to go from a piece of steel to the junk we see on the side of the interstate.

 

Thank you. My piece of junk, has never been on the side of the interstate other than a tire. She makes a lot of $$. Have a great day ...
