    Is there a specific name these truck junk yards go by? What’s a good one for Freightliner Cascadias? I drive nationwide, so the location doesn’t matter much.
     
    D.Tibbitt Thanks this.

    Same here in Arkansas, I posted one that used to be quite populated and something of a memory stone for me. It's down to less than 8 cabs and probably will be cleaned out pretty shortly.

    Driving down any number of roads you have anything ranging from a 50's GMC Bus quietly rusting all the way through the 90's rigs left out to nature all over the place. Some with trees growing through them. (One they actually removed when I checked it last month from the road)

    Just cruise along I-80 in Wyoming and pick up parts on the side of the road.

    There’s a good one in Terre Haute In. Behind Pilot, also another one north of there.LKQ on I- 55 south of Jackson Ms. and 1-65 Birmingham Al. 1 exit south of Flying J . Look for the big KW in the sky. That Guy gives Me small stuff for free. Been trying to throw some money his way, won’t take it. Best ones I’ve found.
