FALL IS IN THE AIR

Hello to all,

The cooler weather has surely set in this week. I am on my current route from Charlotte, NC to Laredo, TX. I stopped at Hattiesburg, Miss. to take my ten hour rest break. Over night the temperature dropped to 40 degrees. During the night, I did not use my HVAC system. I had no clue how cool the temperature was outside the Cascadia. I was warm and had a good night’s rest. When I awoke and stepped outside, I was amazed at the weather change. This is a testament to how well the cab and sleeper are insulated. I really appreciate this feature on the Cascadia. Hope all of you are staying warm. Until next time… Be safe.

Henry
