    I had a 2010 Cascadia day cab and the headlight interrupt switch was actually on steering wheel it kind of took a while to get used to the steering wheel. I haven't looked at the new ones are they basically the same?

    Schneider did a study on the wheel covers and found that it gave them an increase in fuel mileage.

    I got empty in Schulenberg Tx at 1:30pm. Played the waiting game for an hour and a half then got a true team load assigned. I had to dead head to Jackson Ms, 549 miles to drop and hook for a load going to St. Helens Or, 2515 miles for 2am Monday morning. I'm just finishing my 30 minute break in McComb Ms, 86 miles to my drop and hook. I'll have right at 3 hours left to drive when I get it, then my student takes over. I guess I have the night shift the next few days.

    Jackson MS? Total Trashportation? If its them it will be 45k of floor tile and that place makes our place look like a resort. My first thought when i walked in was if it was a salvation army dormitory...people sleeping in corners etc!
    Oregon bound....sure you don't want my Cranbury NJ to Franklin, Va run?
    Good Luck and safe travels !

    No headlight interrupt. Just marker interrupt.

    Yep, that's the one. Quite the place. A real sewer. I dropped my empty after driving around at 2am for 20 minutes to find an empty slot, then went inside to get my paperwork from the 2 dudes in the office, who I might add were feeling up the chick that was sitting between them. If I didn't know any better, it looked like late night shenanigans was going on when I interrupted them.
