Delivered in Canton, Ga.

Hi folks!
Well I delivered a job site at a school today. A good job site the site was ready for the delivery. Very easy to get around in actually made big enough for a truck to deliver with no problems. I wish all job sites were this easy. After unloading I went to Royerton,Ga. to load for Plain field, In. And that will be the last run for the 2009 CASCADIA, I really cant say enough good things about this truck, Its been a dandy.
Until next time be safe.
Dick
