Equipment
Freightliner cascadia
BLC operates a fleet of Freightliner Cascadia trucks, which are comfortable, reliable, and economical to operate. Here are just a few things our drivers appreciate about the Cascadia:
Features and Highlights
- Lighter vehicle for improved fuel consumption
- Larger windshield for improved visibility
- Deer guards installed on all trucks to minimize damage from animal encounters
- Special spring set-up on the hood for stability and to keep it from closing too hard
- A battery shutoff so the driver can turn off the battery, for power preservation
- Reduced cab noise, featuring 50% less road and wind noise than in previous models. A quieter cab tends to reduce driver stress and fatigue, both when at the wheel driving or in the bunk. A well-rested and low-stressed driver is a safer driver.
- Door openings from both the cab and to the bunk are quite large, to accommodate any size driver and make for easy access. The cab and bunk is nice and high too, 84" in the cab and 90" in the bunk
- Seats are wider, higher and longer than standard seats
- Spacious and comfortable interiors
- Bunks have fridges mounted at waist height so the driver doesn’t need to bend to access the fridge
- Plenty of power outlets for the many electronic devices that truckers seem to have
- Deep storage spaces
