    just had all my loads pulled for the next 3 days.
    Sitting in Northeast IL and there's no loads. Even a bunch crappy random Gary relays disappeared quick before I could grab one, probably went to company trucks.
    Sunday is the worst day to get screwed on a load.
    At least I got a VNU.

    The only time they get me with a Trailer hunt is when I'm in a area I'm not familiar with.
    Which is rare..I tend to stick to the area's I know best.
    Keeps my revenue and sanity up.

    Yeah yeah I know..I need to broaden my horizons.
    But do I really?!
     
    FatDaddy and scythe08 Thank this.

    It's also very nice inside. I want the apu and 3000 Watt power invertor they have in it.

    I like the exterior of the 5700 but they went lazy on the interior design.

    just look at this dash

    Super high $ truck and they went lazy and cheap right where the driver spends all his time working.
    More thought went into the Crapcadia dash than the 5700.. which is pretty sad.

    Look at those two tiny air vents for the driver. (Cascadia has four btw)
    Dash design looks like a flat wall they threw some random knobs at. No creative design element there.
    Gauges look like they're off an 80s school bus.
