I have a Cascadia, I work for Sysco, its set at 57mph, no sat radio, CD though, pwr windows cruise, pwr mirrors, heated mirrors, got 34,000 miles without an issue what so ever, its got a Detroit in it, uses the DEF, its a full auto 6 speed, our shuttle drivers drive mine at night and regularly pull back 2 42 foot trailers and gross up to 90,000 lbs, they say they can shave 10 min off a 120 mile run loaded, over the same set up in a International 9200 with a manual 10 speed set at 62 mph, its all about pulling the hills they say, these Cascadias really pull like they should, I love mine, I don't care if I ever touch a shifter again, they have made huge strides in the auto transmissions since the first one I drove in a KW at Fedex Freight.

57mph????????????? Ive seen yard dogs go faster than that.

I hope you stay off the interstate. 57mph is dangerously low.

I run a 75mph turnpike alot Bubba, in construction I have a line a mile long behind me, I get waved at alot..you should see our shuttle guys pulling 2 42' trailers maxed out up the hills..LOL!!!
 
Thats what I liked about Sysco trucks. They were the only ones I could pass from lsx to lhw, before I retired. Downhere inTexas on the back of your trailers it says you only can run 60 mph.

Thats actually a good idea Frogger, let the public know in advance, around here in OK, we just have to brace ourself and hope for the best, I have had big riggers run up on me so fast I was sure they would hit me, they usually get stuck in traffic on the pike, that makes em mad, once they are able to pass they croud the **** out of my lane and come over on my bumper, seems to teach me a lesson, like I can control the speed the company sets our trucks at.
