Are The New Petes better than Cascadias?

Nope just here as a spectator
I don't have a dog in this fight..
Never drove a Crapcadia nor do I have a desire too
Also didn't learn much from your post either other than you were waiting on your trainer
Still not sure of the relevance of you waiting on your trainer to this thread

 

Well, all I can say is…. My old bucket of Kenworthless bolts drug a Late model Freightshaker from WV to Baytown, TX, then drug a 2020 Petercar back to WV.


Why..? Because no one could fix the Pete for weeks in Baytown area. Customer was driving it in 2 days once it got back to WV.

As far as a freightshaker and Pete go, I’ll take the Pete please, just going on personal experience. The turning radius of a 2015 Pete with 30” longer wheelbase will out turn my Kenworth. That’s a plus for the places I go…. Oh and resale value.

Until then, guess I’ll holler on the CB and say howdy as I roll by in my old bucket of bolts….

 

They're designed for fuel economy and to last 3-5 years, long enough for a mega to run them and then dispose of them.

The interiors definitely take some getting used to.

 

And then get bought up cheap with their guts hanging out by let’s get rich quick dreamers…?

 

That, or lease-purchased by those who want to be an O/O but can't afford - or don't have enough sense - to get their truck from someone who doesn't control their revenue.

 

I’ve owned both and it’s a tough call. Would depend on price. The parts are more for the Pete and I like the dealer better. They help me get the parts, fast, and give me part numbers and will help locate parts even at other shops like truckpro and fleetpride. My freightliner dealer is just terrible. You will never catch them on the phone or get part numbers to save your life.

Is this worth tens of thousands of dollars? Who knows I don’t run your business.

 

Which of the brands doesn’t have cabinets and everything else shaking while driving…that’s the brand I’m going with

 

Kinda thinking that same thing when I seen this jewel the other day….

 

The dealer Martin Peterbilt just off the Hurricane exit in WV are very helpful.

The Pete I drug back from Texas was sold by them, and repaired by them.

Shucks the starter on my old mechanical Cummins was bought there, they have quite a bit in stock considering how things have been last year or so.

They have pretty much confiscated the better wrenches that the local KW dealer had…
