    I love the way she pulls and runs. But the lateral roll seems super soft. The lightweights didn't lean so much in curves. Reminds me of training, going 80 around bends coming through Flagstaff... Thought I was going to roll. Guess I'll be slowing her down in the curves. I'm not getting any critical, and only sometimes I feel the truck try to apply the brakes. Just different handling characteristics I'm getting used to.

    The Prostar wouldn't runaway down hills, Jake or no. The Cascadia without the Jake on, will just run away at full speed with a light load.

    Brand new APU with Kohler motor, error 7, won't stay on.

    Vents in rear is blowing black plastic shavings.

    WTF? So what if you want quality you have to drive a Volvo, Peterbilt, Kenworth?

    It also seems like dispatch and RA are much slower to respond, it at all to L/OS.
