    And the seat is a vendor part. But that is the only rattle I had . I took a short rubber strap and put a little tension on it ( pulling down to seat belt anchor) . No more rattle. Same vendor sells to all makes.

    You are about to be a happy driver. There are PLENTY of companies with all Cascadia fleets. Maverick is an excellent company to work for.

    I have learned a good bit from this thread thanks all.

    One issue: To the poster who compared the Crapcadia with the Ford Taurus. How dare you sir? The Ford Taurus is one of the finest vehicles ever to grace the road with it's presence!!!!!

    we have one '04 Columbia left as a spare, driving requires ear plugs and a strong stomach, oh and don't even try to use a BT headset, all the other person will hear is the rattles and road noise. I'll take my '09 Mack, floor insulation is 3.5" thick because of the DPF, 400K later no rattles, shakes, vibrations and I can hear myself think, and most people I talk to aren't aware I'm in the truck because it's so quiet. Last Pete daycab I drove as a demo wasn't much quieter than that Columbia.

    as for pricing, we paid $115,900 for my truck in '08, the MSRP was $124,000, they gave us another $12,000 off for the trade-in of my old truck. I know the three new trucks we ordered last year, the sleeper like mine, with new emissions was $123,800 OTD, with a MSRP of $ 132,000.
