Freightliner Cascadia

[Jackrabbit379]

We have some new trucks, and they are the new Cascadia.
I got inside of one in the shop last night.
I have a question for those that drive the Cascadia. Where in the world does your CB radio go?? I can't find any hook-ups or anything, but there are antennas outside.

Quick! go spray yourself with a high pressure hose to remove the freightliner bugs from your skin.

Your punishment......... you ain't gonna like this but................. you may not enter the cab of that 359 you like to drive so much for a period of........................................... one month.

sorry it's mandatory.

That's no lie!
They been telling us for a good while that we're getting new trucks, but no one new what brand. I figured they would have been Internationals. That's what we have had. Our new trucks have been sitting at our warehouse for the last several days, but I haven't had a chance to look at them up close.
First thing I thought,.. of all the trucks they make, and they bought these. I was talking to our night time mechanic last night, and I said, "Hey, Pete makes a good truck."

Yeah, I didn't see any CB hook-ups. Maybe, they were hidden somewhere.

Cascadia's are "big" fleet trucks. The majority of the drivers that drive for big fleets don't know how to use a CB. So, why would you need a place to put one?

Hmm....we are looking at getting our first truck. I kinda liked the cascadias, do I need to cross them off my list lol??

That might be a good point, Malaki.
The whole time I was in the cab, I thought, "Surely they have radio hook-ups. We're truckers."
