Hi Folks!  While delivering in Lebonon, IN, yeaterday, I had the pleasure  of meeting driver, Maxie Ball…and the receiving clerk.  Maxie and the clerk were very interested in the Cascadia.  Maxie was very surprised to learn that the Cascadia gets 7.4 mpg as he only gets 6.0 mpg.  They really like the aerodynamic design of the Cascadia, and the patriotic wrap.  The red, white and blue atrracts people, then I get to show off the dynamics.  I enjoyed the conversation with the gentlemen…having given them a card and pen.  They plan on going to the “sliceoftruckerlife.com” website to ckeck out my site as well as Henry Albert’s, since he is getting high 8′s mpg.  
Until next time, be safe,
Dick
