Nice day in North Carolina

Hello everyone I am loading in Taylorsville,NC.It is a very nice day after it rained and stormed last nite.After a week of loads cancelled loads pushed back,for one thing or another I finally getting loaded for Ohio.With a load average weight of 34,000 the DD15 is getting 7.4 M.P.G. The CASCADIA is a fine truck its doing a great job.I wish all my driver buddies could drive one,I think this is the truck of the future.I think after the Louisville,Ky Truck Show drivers both women and men found this is quite a nice truck,with all the drivers looking at the CASCADIA.
