Welfare Express soon to be adding KW's to the rag tag fleet...

Agree 110%. A plastic truck is a plastic truck anyways not sure why anyone gets all excited over a plastic paccar. Especially considering the sketchy reliability of the powertrain. All things equal there (plastic truck-wise) a detroit powered Cascadia is hands down the most reliable of them. I don't know what generation the 2019-2026 Cascadia is but it's most definitely not a rattle trap inside the cab like previous generations were. It's a quiet, comfortable cab and like you say everything control wise, gauges, etc is ergonomic & intuitive.

 

Didn't say anything about Volvo, other than one 230 trip in a million mile loaner where the writing was worn off all the buttons I've never driven one. I've heard good things, but that's it.

All Im saying is that Pete and KW have been coasting off their "quality truck" reputation for more than a decade and that Freightliners are better trucks than they're given credit for.

 

Nobody at my company likes the cascadias, but that's because they've got x15s in them. Slap a dd15 in my Pete and I wouldn't struggle with all the "big hills" on i41 in Wisconsin.

 

Hmmmm. Maybe I leave LS and go back to WE for a Paccar.

Nope.

 

That’s if the side extenders aren’t torn off altogether!

 

Plus,there’s actually room for a small fridge when you need it!!
Note to Marten HQ: I want my ****** truck back!!

 

I hope your wife has recovered.

 

Thank you.
She did, then some..
I’ve known my wife for 22 years,of which we’ve been married for 16 of them. As long as I’ve known her before the surgery she had poor eyesight.
After the surgery was done on both of her eyes (left eye first,then the right eye 1 1/2 weeks later). Not only did her eyesight recover-she officially now has 20/20 vision!!
She doesn’t need glasses anymore! The surgeon couldn’t believe she recovered as quickly as she did.

It’s going to take me awhile to get used to her not needing glasses!lol

 

I am very happy to learn your wife has recovered from surgery much to the astonishment of her surgeon.

 

So now that she can see you clearly is she still going to stick around?
