What a great day

Hi folks!
What a great day it was today,I left southern Indiana to Texarkana, Texas… dry roads. I think nice weather makes a person feel better, at least I feel better and the CASCADIA runs better when its not pushing snow. It has been a hard winter for a lot of people. But we are into March and in three weeks we will be in Louisville, Kentucky at the truck show. And there is so much going on this year with the new driver coming on and new things in the Freightliner booth.
Until next time be safe.
Dick
