Not sure if anyone mentioned it or not (didn't read all 9 pages), but the Cascadias are coming with a radio, CD, MP3 and XM (Con-way is fronting the bill on the XM). They are also leaving the cruise controls on, but will NOT turn the cruise on on the older trucks.

The trucks are nicer, a step up and the DSR's that are lucky enough to get one will like it. Very roomy inside and much better visibility that the Sterlings. You may hear a Jake, but you will have no control of it. It will be disabled as far as your control, but may come on if you tailgate someone. If you're too close, it will slow itself down in 3 stages, kill throttle, Jake, then apply the brakes progressively. Most cases, the throttle will be enough, applying the brakes is the extreme measure. Wont be much of an issue, but could scare the S**T out of you if you don't know what's happening. Same for the lane departure feature, rumor has it that it will shutter the brakes of you drift out of lane without signaling to wake you up thinking that your dosing off.

Hard to believe Con-Way would furnish radio and XM subscription. I'll believe it when it see it.
