“thank you tulsa freightliner”

hello everyone, i hope you have been safe and profitable. i did my first ever personal appearance yesterday at tulsa freightliner. i would like to say thank you to all that made me feel like one of the crew, the experience was one i won’t soon forget. especially to kim, brady, and jim they didn’t make me feel out of place and to don freeman the g.m. that made room for me on a very short notice. i didn’t have a lot of traffic but a lot of good questions. they all wanted to know about the dd15 if it was everything they have heard, and was the cascadia as roomy and quite like the salesman says. i had to answer truthfully by saying yes on both and showed them by letting them look inside my truck. that spoke for it’s self. the most asked question was ” what am i selling?” i want everyone to know that I’m not selling you anything, just promoting the website and to answer questions you might have on the cascadia and the detroit dd15. myself and the other two drivers are truck drivers first and foremost. we pick up our loads and deliver them just like you do. i try and make myself available to you so i hopefully can tell you my experience with this truck. i loved meeting all the drivers that stopped by to chat and swapped a few stories. it was a nice time and i enjoyed it. the weather might have been a factor for such a slow day, wasn’t very warm at all. i plan on doing another one this month yet. i will let you all know when and where as soon as i can. i hope you all have been able to listen to the radio pod cast on the midnight trucking radio show. you can down load it just over to the left of this blog, just click on it to listen. also listen for us on the kevin rutherford show that will be coming up real soon. once again if you have any questions or comments please do so by just clicking on the word comment. i will be glad to post any questions or comments ( within reason) that you might have for all to see and read. maybe we all can learn from it. goodbye for now, you all be safe and profitable.
