Moving from Freightliner to Peterbilt

You won’t have to wear ear plugs to hear yourself think.
Nice comfy ride.
Comfy interior.
But the computer. Anything electronic has a mind of its own. And it’s retarded.

 

The 579 will turn just as good as the Cascadia. I drive one everyday and it as good as any Century Class I've ever been in.

 

Atleast the truck wont fall apart when u hit a bump

 

It's a truck, a truck is a truck, I would think a cut above a cascadia myself though.

 

Cascadia is one of the quieter trucks on the road. Part of the new design

 

It really does not matter. The Pete will show a few things to you that the Cas wont. However the newer truck would be somewhat better in overall noise and what not.

There isnt a pete you cannot get into a dock yet. They don't always build them that big. You probably will find a small toolkit and so on will be of help with the pete. With the Cas you would just hollar at the shop to deal with it.

 

Get yourself a butt pillow. 579 has the worst seat.
And the windshield wipers are cr@p.

 

The 579 has horrid headlights. Be prepared to upgrade the bulbs.

 

Huh, I thought the lights on my new company 579 were pretty great. The low beams are way better than my old Century on Highbeam and the Highbeams on the 579 are nothing short of stellar..... and I run 2 lane Montana at night where the deer and elk far out number the other rigs on the road. Wonder if they had ours upgraded already??? I'm still not digging the Auto for mountain driving, but the rest of the rig is very comfy...
