Hey Folks, been a little while. I keep meaning to say thank you to everybody for watching my vids and I enjoy all the comments I get. I've left USX. I don't regret working for them...I learned a lot there but it was time to move on. I've gone to John Christner Trucking and am doing a lease/purchase with them. In a mere 20 years this baby will be mine!! LOL, it's not that bad. Really like the truck! It's got a longer wheel base, 10" deeper sleeper, more goodies, an APU AND Freightliner has made a few changes with the engine since 2011. BUT, best of all IT'LL BE MINE ONE DAY!!!As of 04/01/12 I'm one month into the lease. I'm getting settled in and think I'll be happy here...I hope, stay tuned.

I'm a kenworth guy. But I'd drive this cascadia any day. Looks like a comfortable ride. Something that's needed driving over the road. Wasn't a fan of the old freightliners like the columbia. I'd have no problem driving something like this. Nice rig you have, I'm jealous.

Very nice truck, Driver! I Love Freight-Shakers. I also drove for USX back in 2005. The reason I left them is because, The used me to go into the rail yards, especially in Chicago; the preplan would say, Chicago to SLC as a for instance, However; Just about the time I'd get south of Chicago, the Qual-com would beep! The msg would read, We have a team that is going to re-power that load". So, I and lots of others were just "GOPHERS" for teams!!!Louisiana Woman said that! Stay safe!

My dad owns a small steel fabrication company and weve ran a 86 volvo for years so finally i talked him into getting a new truck as the 86 had many problems and the transmission was starting to slowly break its self apart

Just got into a 2014 Cascadia mid-roof - DD 15/13 speed - 64 mph @ 1300 rpm 68 mph @ 1450 rpm. Excellent power. Quiet. Good ride.

@brakenut1 9 лет назад

The camera is Bendix AutoVue.. used to be Iteris (eye-tare-is).. Yes.. the system will sound digital rumble strips basically when the center of the rear tandems are over the right or left line.. there's some wiggle room

@DeversTX 12 лет назад

@drbandach1 12 лет назад

Hey guys, I don't know about working for them in the 60's, John started the company in 1987, (This is they're 25th anniversary.) As far as making money leasing? Yea, you can. I was dead set against leasing for the longest time till I finally made the plunge. My "Fixed" weekly costs here are HIGHER than a few other companies out there and I'm doing OK. I'm averaging around $1,000.00 a week AFTER all my expenses.

@drbandach1 12 лет назад

All that being said tho, I'm a hustler. I'm VERY careful about sitting too long at shippers/receivers and between loads. I'm also VERY careful about when, where and how much I fuel, (Improper fueling will kill your profits.) I was self employed for 7 years before driving so I already had that experience. Leasing is the same as being self employed...you HAVE to treat it as YOUR business.

@drbandach1 12 лет назад

Yea, I was kinda hoping for a 13 speed. When we did our road tests, it was in a IH 9400...but it was a 13 speed but all they're newer trucks are 10's

@kmg501 12 лет назад

Nice show & tell. Have you given any thought to having a tool box mounted to the frame? -

@drbandach1 12 лет назад

Hey BUDNACK, yea I know. I need to do one on the trailer. It'll be coming, stay tuned.

@cornilious08 11 лет назад

Those are very clean trucks, I worked at tulsa freightliner for awhile and rigged the majority of the trucks that jct bought

@JungleListSoldier 10 лет назад

Nice truck. What is the name of that tire pressure monitoring system?

@ConwayTruckload 12 лет назад

I drive for Prime. As you may know Mr Christner is good friends with the owner of Prime (Robert Lowe) and they share each others freight. I also have a cousin and a couple of friends who run team for JCT. That is a good company but only issue I have with them is your paid by the mile pulling reefer freight. In may of their loads your only getting 55% to 65% of what the load actually pays especially if its a produce load. That being said JCT would be my 2nd choice if every I left Prime.

@drbandach1 12 лет назад

😊 Hey DARKESTFORD, it's not cable. Theres two antennas on the truck, ones for the CB and the others for the radio and the TV. I do get great reception pretty much anywhere I go but if not...there's always the blue ray...which I've switched out for a PS3.

@HighAway 12 лет назад

a living quarters nice. does it feel homey?? i wish it was sub titled.

@walterRsilva 12 лет назад

SHOW DE BOLA ESSE CASCADIA VALEU FORTE ABRAÇO FICA COM DEUS

@drbandach1 12 лет назад

Hey Thomas, I can't do that. Need to keep it all right here, sorry.

@drbandach1 12 лет назад

DARKESTFORD, PS: you CAN get satellite for your truck too. Most of the truck stops sell either a "cube" looking thing OR a mini satellite dish. I think they run around $300.00 plus your monthly subscription.

@drbandach1 12 лет назад

Hey BSE, all my videos and stills are done with an iPhone, then some are run through iMovie before posting.

@Dave12371 11 лет назад

Nice vid man you just forgot 1 most important thing to show us. THE ENGINE!!! If its either a DD 14 15 or 16 you will spend a lot of money just on the oil change. good luck though.

@mustangmach18 12 лет назад

How long did you train in the truck with cj at usx.And does jct hire recent grads ?

@drbandach1 11 лет назад

LOL!!! I had to watch it to see what you were talking about. It does look like a clip, it's just AAA batteries

@ristestankovski 8 лет назад

I like your cooler where can I get one?

@drbandach1 12 лет назад

Wow! OK, where do I start. Freightliner offers the Cascadia in a 60" or 70" sleeper, (not a 72") check their website and brochures. Yes, it's the same 10 speed as USX, but my rpm's , hp and torque are set differently than USX...I can get up to 2,200 R's here, I could only get up to about 1,600 at USX. I know how to measure wheelbase, this truck is 12" longer than USX.

@super87cole 12 лет назад

nicce truck man. what engine DD16 ? 550 hp

@josh198869 12 лет назад

i love the truck but what is the mileage on it because your headlights need to be cleaned already they look dirty lol

@bestbuyuadrank 12 лет назад

@Matthews to save money they don't install stock in sleeper if truck is getting APU they rub rubbing from it

@fatback71 12 лет назад

So how do you like JCT?

@budnack2010 12 лет назад

@detroitdiesel1776 11 лет назад

@tub1965 11 лет назад

@1971rogerrabbit 12 лет назад

@walkerharper10 10 лет назад

That has to be either a 2nd or 3rd gen APU, because , the 1st gen take s up much more space under the bunk that that. HEY WHERE IS THE BUNK HEATER?

@RockinGuy1994 11 лет назад

@mrbeefhbw 12 лет назад

@aleesixstring 12 лет назад

too bad in 20 years you wont be legally allowed to drive in most states due to the 20 year old emission system. Sad days. Thanks eco freaks

@drbandach1 12 лет назад

FTHRCAST...the sleeper is 70" DEEP, that's from the back wall to the back of the front seat...NOT from left to right! My sleeper, AND BED is 90" from side to side, THAT'S 7 1/2 FEET! How is that not enough room to lay down? If you don't know what your talking about when you post...you just look like a fool 😞 Invest in a tape measure and experiment with it.
