On the Road with Dick McCorkle

My recent trip from Durham, N.C. to Indianapolis,  IN.  I was observing the beauty of America, once again.  The mountains and the valleys are remarkable.  I never tire of seeing the wonders of our country, and never forget those who have made it possible to enjoy the freedom that we have.  Driving this new Cascadia makes it even more enjoyable.

Midnight Trucking RadioShow apperance has been cancelled for Thursday morning due to Eric is a little under the weather. It will be on Feb. 26 at 1a.m. So I will be talking to you then

While loading this morning a driver came over and ask if he could take a look at the CASCADIA. Sure get in and look around,sure is warm in here yes I have the park vac on low. so I started up sure is quite the DD15 is a very quite motor.The driver liked  the CASCADIA. Anyone interested I will be on the midnite trucking radio show Thursday morning at 1 am cst.

I made an appearance at the Eaton, Ohio T/A.  I met the service manager, who was a very nice man.  I talked to several owner/operators and company drivers, all of whom really enjoyed the CASCADIA.  Several comments on the DD15 were made, most of which were on fuel economy and power.  Questions were asked on the ride of the CASCADIA, and on how quiet it is on the inside, so I started the DD15 and let them come inside and see for themselves.  The other drivers couldn’t believe it! 

I had a great time visiting, and let the T/A know that I’d be back to visit again later.

Well after a long three weeks of bad weather finally a great week end.So its time to get the salt off the CASCADIA .It sure cleaned up nice I hope it will last for a while

I stoped at the Petro at Carnesville Ga. to get a truck wash,well I told the workers to wash the motor off as well.Thats all it took here came a driver is that the new Detroit. Yes come on over for a look well here came another driver how is the M.P.G.I told them  around 7.2 to 7.4 so i said wait a second,I got my fuel tickets from last week. 2202 miles drove used 285 gal. that tallies out to 7.7 and thats great they didnt dream of anything like that. I told them you have to drive a CASCADIA to see how quite the DD15 really is and the power it has. I belive they are in the market for a CASCADIA
