On the Road with Dick McCorkle

Hi folks!
Well I guess its time to get back on the road.Its hard to get back in the groove after being off for a holiday.But its great to be home with family and frends. But when you are getting ready to go,and you are getting in the CASCADIA it sure makes it a hole lot better.
Untill next time be safe.

A professional driver MUST maintain a positive attitude and work ethic at all times. Negative attitudes cause negative actions and reactions, which causes accidents, wrong turns, mistakes in all aspects, and general non -careing and non -compliance. It is the negativity in truckers that spurns the public attitude toward our profession. If you can not obtain and maintain a positive attitude, you may need to re-think this profession or your attitude.
Until next time be safe.

Hi Folks! going to the Chicago Il. area this is not my cup of tea, but I guess it will work out. At least the weather is still half way nice, a littlle chilly but I can live with that. If it doesn’t rain tomorrow, the CASCADIA will get a wash job. I ran in rain this week and it does get dirty. I have had the CASCADIA on the road for fifteen months and looking around, I have not had to replace the wipers or any bulbs or lens I think this is great, as a rule wipers and bulbs don’t last that long.

Hi folks! I thought it is about time to talk about my power plant. The DD15, 125,000 miles now. I haven’t had to add any oil between changes. I have changed fuel filters only one time between changes. I have the CASCADIA greased every 10 to 20 days all depends on how much rain I run into.And I am still getting 7.4 on M.P.G. This has proven to be a great power plant.

Hi folks! well I am in Georiga delivering office furniture.The weather is very nice, I love warm weather but its not going to last,with all the holidays coming, so does cold weather. But the Cascadia does well in cold weather with the park vac.I hope to be home Tuesday Nov. 24th for the Thanksgiving holiday.
Untill next time,be safe.

P/S
Remember all that shines is not silver and gold…

I spent last night delivering to CVS stores, this is not what I usually do. Today I am in Washington Pa. delivering to a new motel, a very hard one to get into, but with help and the CASCADIA I made it.
