The Cascadia

Hi Folks!

I unloaded in Dallas, TX. on Thursday and reloaded for Arlington, VA. in 101 degrees heat after getting reloaded I went to the T/A took a cool  shower and went to bed. The Park Smart is working  just  fine very cool inside the cab  with over 100 degrees heat now thats great. The insulation package in the Cascadias is out standing very quite. Its a great ride I am on a 32,000 pound load m.p. g. is 7.7 witch is great after all I am paid by the mile. I will deliver in Arlington, VA. on Monday.

Until next time be safe.

Dick
