Philadelphia Freightliner

       Me with the Philadelphia Eagles Cheerleaders: Alicia, Rachel and Stephanie        

Hello everyone,

I have returned from my trip to Philadelphia. On Friday, I participated in an open house  at Philadelphia Freightliner. I had the opportunity to meet and speak with many of their customers. We discussed issues such as, fuel mileage, drive train specs and the Park Smart HVAC system. I explained how I am able to get the most out of the HVAC system. I have learned that it must be used properly in order to operate successfully. A stereo was playing music outside of the Cascadia during the event. When customers went inside the truck and closed the door the noise from outside the truck disappeared. The quietness of this truck stands for itself.

I want to thank the folks at Freightliner Philadelphia for allowing me to participate in their event. It’s always a pleasure to meet new faces and share information regarding our industry.

Regards,

Henry
