The Cascadia doing a great job

Hi folks!
Well it snowed and the road iced up this morning in west Hartford, Ct. But I got a reload yes I got a reload from East Longmeadow, Ma. Up North on I–91 onto a two lane never been on this road before. So when I arrived the shipper asked me is the roads bad, yes pretty slick out there. But I just traveled slow and easy with no problems. You see I have a Freightliner CASCADIA and it does a great job.
Until next time be safe.
Dick
