Meeting New Drivers

William Butler and Greg Fenn

William Butler and Greg Fenn

Hello,

Yesterday upon loading, I had the pleasure of meeting two very nice drivers, William Butler and Greg Fenn.  On Monday, we were all loading at the same warehouse in Charlotte, NC. Upon discussion with these two, I found out  William (left) is twenty one years old and has only been driving for six months. These two guys work as a team for Werner and drive a Cascadia. They shared with me how much they really like their truck and can tell that Freightliner and Detroit Diesel put a lot of thought into the manufacturing of this product.  They sat in my truck and somehow thought my seats were more comfortable than theirs. They explained  the only issue was their seats were making their legs sore. I went over to their truck for inspection and found that they didn’t have their lower seat cushions pulled forward, which allows for better leg support. I showed them how to adjust their seating for better comfort. They were thrilled!!! and said now their seats feel like mine. This should help them tremendously in the future. They enjoy the quietness of the Cascadia, good handling and power of the DD15 engine. It was my pleasure to spend some time with these fine professionals. Werner should be proud to have these two drivers. I hope our paths cross again sometime in the future. Until then… be safe.

Henry
