Just remember that Cascadias have that exhaust treatment box that costs $10k and needs replacement at 400k-500k miles.
Swift takes good care of their trucks. Mandatory service every 25k miles, no idling under 72 degrees, 65 mph governed.

As soon as I sat on the driver's seat the stench of what you discibed hit me...
Parked the truck and I'll never do that again..Capacity and Moosetek13 Thank this. -
And think of the people in the shop that had to deal with that persons truck over several years.
The last time my truck was in the shop the mechanic commented on and thanked me for keeping such a clean truck.
I told him... But I don't.
Because, I really do not clean that much. I also smoke my pipe in the truck.
He then went on to tell me of the stench and trash he has to get around in so many trucks.
That is not a company issue, it a person issue.
Swift has a maintenance schedule that will not allow a truck to operate past.
You either get the truck in for service or you are dead in the water. No more loads until it is done.
A-service every 25k, B-service every 50k, and a CA BIT inspection every 90 days if you are running there.
(Although the A-service is a bit wishy-washy...from time to time.)
Swift is serious about not having mechanical issues with their trucks. -
