Freightliner Cascadia Day Cabbers Need Help!

i have to drive this day can rental Freighiner Cascadia. The truck has 2 good qualities and everything else about it is bad. Two things off the bat if I owned a trucking operation I would never buy anything Freightliner and I would never buy any automatic transmission made by Eaton Corporation. Eaton Corporation makes the worst automatic transmission on the market they always have and they always will there auto transmissions are garbage and Eaton knows there garbage, but that's besides the point.

I don't know if there's a difference the rental truck I have is pretty bare bones I don't know if the Casscadias OD has are little bit better then base model. But this Freightliner is so absolutely fatiguing to drive there's like zero room at all to streatch my legs and after a while that makes you tired I've never been so beat before just from driving 8 hours and my legs are all just bunched up and feel like rubber bands. Never felt that way in the Volvos. I'm going to move the seat back a notch maybe that gives me more room but I don't know the ergonomics of these Freightliners are not good.

Now I have heard the sleeper can trucks are roomier and not as cramped. For like a city pedal route the Casscadia is fine but for like more truck load stuff those Casscadias are hard to drive for a long time without having to get out and streatch your legs.

 

The trick is nobody actully really knows how these new trucks work.

They come brand new from the dealer already broke down and malfunctioning. We have an entire warehouse lot full of 2017 Volvos that are all plagued with malfunctioning electronics.

 

I'm an entire foot if not more shorter then you. I don't know the seat brand. Cheap is what the seat brand is. I'll move it back some see if that helps.
