    I'd need to see the spec sheet first.

    here's my current ride. it's a 2000 Argosy, cat c12 with eaton 10 spd. it'll run all day at 75+ and actually it'll run faster than i really feel comfortable going in it. i truly believe this truck is why seat belts were invented. they aren't there to keep you alive just to keep you from hitting the roof with your head while you run 20 across Louisiana.

    I'm convinced. My wife can't make me a decent Reuben to save her life.

    I've never driven a cabover, but I see a really cool one occasionally at CAT in Lafayette, In. Tractor and trailer are both painted an olive drab. It's not flat coat paint but it's not real shiny either, more of a satin finish. Just a few bits of chrome here and there that really stand out, but the overall effect looks great.

    What a coincidence. That's how I've felt about every cabover I've driven.

    As an old COE driver I don't miss them too much other than the Ford CLT 9000. That was a truck!
    i do see a few movers come into our facility with cab over combos, pulling pup trailers.

    You are living a dream on that one, not even close to a KW or Pete.

    A Pete 386 or 587 or a t-700??? You could totally put a Cascadia up against any of them.

    That's a different animal completely. You can't compare at w9 to a t7. But as for fleet wise, a Cascadia can go head to head with all of them.
