Slice of Life blog extended

The Slice of Life blog, in which three truckers describe their experiences driving the Cascadia, has been extended, Freightliner Trucks announced. The fleet says the program will stay because of its popularity and the drivers’ positive response to it.

For the last year, Overdrive 2007 Trucker of the Year Henry Albert, Dick McCorkle and Kurt Grote have described their responses to drive the Cascadias equipped with a Detroit Diesel DD15 and newly added selective catalytic reduction emissions technology.

While Albert, Grote and McCorkle reported different experiences as they traveled across North America, all have had the same impression about the Cascadia’s reliability and comfort, and the DD15’s power and fuel economy, according to a company news release.

Albert says that one of the benefits of participating in the Slice of Life program has been the opportunity to speak with other drivers at truck stops or via his blog – www.SliceofTruckerLife.com – about implementing better business practices.
