Freightliner Cascadia
 

We have some new trucks, and they are the new Cascadia. http://serve.mysmiley.net/sick/sick0001.gif
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?? :hellno: I can't find any hook-ups or anything, but there are antennas outside. http://forum.thescubasite.com/confused/confused0006.gif

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

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. :tears:

:rofl:
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." :lol:

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

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. :lol:
The whole time I was in the cab, I thought, "Surely they have radio hook-ups. We're truckers." :lol:

The cb hook up is behind the sunglass holder or so I am told.

You are correct. There are two or three Torx screws that you can unscrew to access it. You will 12V power leads (I think the + and - are even marked), and the factory coax that leads to an internal antenna system. It won't fit a full-sized radio, but it will hold a Cobra 29/Uniden PC-78/Galaxy 979.
