____ Probably the shortest trip on the blog for a long time. A preloaded trailer from the yard to a Waupaca publisher; 11 hours of driving on four-lane highways and Interstates. Barely-legal heavy but no problem for the Cummins. Unloaded, bright and early Thursday morning and back to Fridley, a suburb of Minneapolis. A reload of cardboard for Winnipeg; nine big rolls, quickly loaded. Back through the border into Canada just as the sun was setting and the mist was rolling in. Tipped by 10 on Friday; empty trailer to a nearby customer and bobtail back to the yard. It is the Canadian Trucking Show this weekend at Headingley, Manitoba, 18th and 19th July, so just in time to go to that. Shall I take the four year old Peterbilt or one of the brand new Freightliner Cascadias? Decisions, Decisions.

Hi Chris,
ReplyDeleteif you're happy with the Pete, keep the Pete. Tha Cascadia has much more room and the engine is running a bit smoother, but you feel every pothole in the steering wheel.
I loved to drive the 379 and 389 Pete, but I was happy to switch back to a Cascadia because of the room, my wife too.
Think the Cascadia will be heavier than the Pete, if you haul a lot of heavy maxed out loads, the Pete is better. There are pros and cons,
Tom
