    I hope we see keep seeing a large improvement in truck technology. If we lower the cost of transportation, the cost of everything else imaginable will also drop. Does anyone know what kind of fuel mileage the Cascadia is supposed to get? They only claim 3% which doesn't seem like much to get as excited about. I realize 3% can be a lot in the long run, but given all the hype Freightliner is making about this truck, I would expect more.

    US Xpress already has a couple of them i saw one yesterday we are "Testing" them out to work out any kinks i assume since the website said its going to replace columbia and century in 2010 USX wants to make sure its worth their money to keep buying Freightshakers

    Also i hope that they fixed the problem i know the Pete 387 had with the hood latches they wore out real fast and then your driving down the road all day with the sound of the hood vibrating..

    and i hope they kept the same or added some storage and cabinets, and didn't turn their truck into a pice of junk with no cabinet or storage space like the pete 387
