    Quest Express out of Laredo apparently uses Cascadia Evo gliders

    Sitting here in the truck stop and this newer Cascadia Evo pulls up next to me but doesn't sound quite right . Come to find out it's got a d*mn series 60 under the hood , no emissions , 13spd tranny . One of my favorite engines

    I didn't know they made Cascadia Gliders
     
    Speed_Drums Thanks this.

    Yeah it sucks. I work for a local company with about 25 trucks and lately they've been buying automatics because the vast majority of new applicants can't drive a manual. And these automatics are horrible
     
    Kyle G. Thanks this.
