Hippie Goat's psychedelic journey with Stevens Transport

And don’t call me Shirley

Not sure I ever wanted it in the first place. I was made out to be the bad guy and was thrown off the truck. Of which they took me back a few days after. No apologies for the way they treated me when I was tossed in Youngstown Ohio

 

I've driven Cascadias, T800s, T660s, T680s, and now a New Cascadia.

My opinion is that the Freightliners have far better controls layouts: all of your driving controls can be used without reaching to the dash. KW still puts the cruise controls on the dash. Wtf.

Freightliner also has far better sun visors. The sun visors in the T680 are worthless.

Kenworth still hasn't figured out how to make a decent windshield washer spray. After all these decades you'd think they'd have that one figured out, but you'd be wrong.

All 3 T680s I've driven have a problem with the side storage compartment doors coming open unless you punch them closed. No such issue with the Freightliners.

I WANT to prefer to drive Kenworth, but I just can't. It's like slumming.

 

Every crapcadia I ever drove the interior storage doors would not stay closed. More interior room yes but you need it because everything falls to the floor.

 

Thats why i like my pete.

 

The cascadias do have a good dash layout.
Storage is good. They do squeak alot.

 

I have yet to see a t680 with a visor

 

Mine is almost completely squeak and rattle free. It’s amazing what you can do with some tools, blue loctite, and some dynomat. Adjusting the doors isn’t hard for those that say they squeak. Just fold up a napkin and put it on the bottom where the door closes. For doors that don’t stay close just make sure the pull lever is back in position before you close it.
