    I am driving a 2013 Cascadia with a 10 speed
    standard transmission. Runs a Detroit Diesel
    Goverened at 65 mph. They also have some new
    Prostars that have automatic transmissions. They
    have Cummins engines and built in refrigerators.
    Very nice equipment and well maintained.

    Well I was hoping to get reloaded tonight but it is hard to find a load to head home with only 12 minutes left. Should get reloaded in the morning and be home by tomorrow night. Looks like this crappy pilot north of Toledo Will be home tonight. Wish we used ta and petro so I could get the salad bar. I'm craving it.

    I know it referring to shutting down at a ta or petro last night rather than the pilot I was at.
