- This five-video series looks closely at Freightliner's New Cascadia. It's not a rework or a remake of the popular Cascadia, but clean-page design that improves much of what made the Cascadia popular. Fuel efficiency is said to be 8 percent better than the current Evolution model and a whopping 13 percent better than the base-model Cascadia. But engineers didn't stop there. There are several brand new interior packages that bring driver comfort and functionality to the next level, making it a great place to work and rest.
This video takes looks into the sleeper area, or as Freightliner calls it, the sleeper lounge. We highlight some clever innovations that will make off-duty time more more comfortable and enjoyable.
Lovely Stuff Chaps
I love Volvo
Love the looks of the new interior. But love the looks of the wood grain makes it look more high end and more of a homey feeling
Nice looking truck, sweet interior!
Video provides excellent perspective and orientation to the sleeper area; you can really tell what it's like. Often sleeper videos make it unclear what the set up really is.
If a Company had a freightliner like this i would drive one forever, but sadly no company would ever treat a driver with this much respect!
Watkins express freight has MANY of these-I am in one now
I drove a 2014 Cascadia before thought it was really nice. This one is like wow.
It’s my dream truck to have, hopefully in 17 months I can get this or finance it depending on my payments
That ladder for the upper bunk holds a capacity of 400 lbs...Oh well guess most drivers won't be using that ladder.
Bryant Dailey if the driver climbing up the top bunk weights 400. how much does the lower bunk driver weigh?
I have no idea lol.
Ismael Carrillo 800
2:25 best line in the ad.
Safety first
that fully loaded cascadia hell yeah I'll enjoy it
This table and ladder was a an idea from Volvo several years ago!.
I understand the use of the drivers cab in the back for long hauls. But for local drivers it's an overkill for a truck. Cabovers in California need to make a comeback
Import
Good for Freightshake. Some nice innovations, there. I do hope they improved the ride quality, too. I had to use a daycab Cascadia for three days while my OTR Volvo was in the shop. It was a long three days. It felt like there was almost no suspension in the front end. Rode like a damn kart...
you would think full air ride is standard on long haul trucks. not all of them thats real comfy too tho.
Ken volvos are trash lol are you crazy
OG: Volvo's quality has dropped off GREATLY, the past few years. No argument. My truck's suspension does provide a nice ride, though.
I'll just buy the bunk ladder and put it on my truck... Nice video. Peace
Beautiful machine, I loved.
if your 400 pounds don't worry you are not getting up that ladder
Mark Rosado what do you mean by that?
If youre 400 then you probably wont have a DOT card.
CJ Walters nice way to put it!
Mac Kelly You're joking right? 90% of truckers I see are 400LB stanky, smelly, rotten filthy, dirty, slimy, grimy, worthless fucking slobs. See them at the truck stops that have buffets eating like they've been in the fields farming all day. "Give me a cheeseburger, cheesy potatoes, Mac and cheese, chili cheese fries, cheesecake, and a Diet Coke. I'm trying to watch my weight".
They are losing their DOT cards because thjey cany pass exams anymore.. Just wait until they have to renew their healthcard and they wont pass.
Man I tell ya that thing is almost a copy of my Volvo. Storage wise, looks similar, the table and seats. Not saying it's a bad truck just the articles I've read act like it's new innovations. It's not though it's things that have been done for years.
neofishaddict does it have room for your jogging pants and flip flops
Ever seen old innovations? :)
Dana Abfall exactly what I thought.
Dana Abfall Freightliner is junk. Well they're all junk now. Nothing but plastic throwaway rigs that will run about 500,000 miles until they start nickel and dining you to death until something major happens. Then it's to the scrapyard. And that's by design. Get those poor suckers who wish to irk out a living under their own authority to second guess themselves. And go drive for a company where they don't have to pay for these piles of shit.
You are correct, just for 30k less.
I hope the park smart a/c work better than the 2016. You will burn up if the sun is out. 2 small vents to cool a full size truck.
I like the new ladder and the storage in the front of the truck. I however do not like the size of the new closet or the frig door on the floor.
Guaranteed none of the big carriers buy that truck with those options to keep there drivers comfortable
damon hassell shut up
I have 88 trucks. Unfortunately, Demon you're right. To reduce weight and price, we get the basic to basic option. However, my company personally does have flat screen in all my trucks. But Maga companies like Swift, Knight and ect won't do much.
damon hassell
Agree to that.
More often than not a nice company truck means crappy pay and working conditions. The shiny bait lure.
damon hassell cheap as possible for executive fat crazy million dollarbonus, huh. more companies will buy cheap international instead of this. lol
2018 cascadia Very good truck
I'm gonna grab this track soon 🤗
Talks about the wonderful air conditioner that can run for 10 hours with the engine off but yet he's sitting there sweating to death.
all we need now is a freighliner that backs itself to the dock.
Looks at lot like my 2017 Volvo 780
Harold Jamison looks like your grannys hiney!
northern boy You probably should just stick to your job at Walmart. :(
Alex Rolli welcome to McDonald's would you like to try a happy meal?
Harold Jamison- that's exactly what I was thinking... except that this is a chip imitation.
Harold Jamison agreed
I have a 2020 and want the table option is it possible for me to get that installed
Certainly very nice.Comes w/a larger microwave-but no fridge.I know they showed a fridge-but that wasnt factory.A fridge is a nice option for OTR.
scott brazinsky I am sure liner will have a fridge option. They've offered them since 2015. Though the smaller college size fridge is enough for me as a solo driver for a weeks worth of food.
have they tried how comfortable it will be to sleep next to the working reefer vibrating through the sleeper?
Cascadia is a good, lot lizard attraction.
I've see 5 of these on the road now and everyone of them the lower half of the front bumper I smashed or already broke completely off
give drivers nice trucks and not more money
Shay Earl No worries. There won't be any nice trucks for drivers.
Yeah company driver 60 cents a mile and a nice truck.
Is the top bunk of the 2018 Cascadia the same size? I slept in the top bunk of 3 different Cascadias during training with my carrier and the top bunk was not comfortable at all. I trained in a 2016 Cascadia. Then a 2015 Cascadia which was handed over to me when I finished entry level training and I had to go 3 weeks in a 2017 Cascadia for defensive driver training after I backed into another truck at one of our terminals when taking a 10 hour rest break. And the bottom bunk is more Comfortable.
Sigo prefiriendo *KW*
Saludos.
Pretty much last to the party with a seat/bed conversion. Dunno about INTL though...never drove one.
this is a beautiful truck
but why not design a mobile toilette?
How about sleeper and cab insulation on a new cascadia. ?? Is that same as the old cascadia??
400lbs? Is that really enough?
I drove in one it's nice
so much nice track is 2018
Bring back the tan interior .
I want one! 😭
Nice👍
love it ,but that sporty ladder ....wow.Ididnt know that ladders where sporty.
Nice👏👍👍👍
Anybody know if Walmart is getting these for the drivers?
yes they are
If your biggest concern about driving a truck is the size of your sleeper. Your working for the wrong Company. Big sleepers just says, "I sit alot waiting for loads".
How In the hell do you let down the sleeper ladder?
Let me make my point perfectly clear, Freightliner Need to go in the recycle bin!
price?
No bs I saw a driver. Young kid too. Ballpark 550-650 pounds. He had the fat drag leg walk and all. How in the hell did he pass a dot med.
Just because a person is fat doesn’t mean they are unhealthy
@@vickienelson2307 5’9 and weighing over 400lbs is healthy? Lmao.
Are you a doctor?there are a lot of fat football players.stop judging
@@vickienelson2307 bro I’m fat. Football players? Yeah defensive players are lucky to see 60. Just saying. Weight isn’t good. There’s no I have a disease that makes me eat 5,000 calories a day. I just over eat like most of us. Eat less. Weigh less.
@@yeahno1016 I feel sorry for the bigger drivers.but I don’t know their story.as a driver it’s up to us to stop the hate.
Nice
I love the old trucks like the 2007 or 2013 2014 2015 trucks that truck got to many rooms in it and the peterbillt 579 and the Kenworth T680 was made in 2012 I just hope in 2026 we can still have the old trucks the newer ones are going to far I like the 2016*2017 trucks and I like that truck too it just to many space for a driver
GamerMcCoy some of us drivers like the space. When I'm out here for long periods of time I like to be able to stock up and have everything I need. I game while I'm out here and that table would be perfect in my truck for my laptop setup instead of that tiny pullout desk most of these tucks have.
ya your right my dad like space in his truck and now that I think about it I like space in my truck to
The Gaming Trucker
michael berlin I got a trucking channel called Trucker McCoy
I like the room inside great sexual positions
It's funny how they don't actually show the sleeper with the camera. Only 3D model pictures
Wish the passenger seat would transform into a desk or something useful
Don't get excited company drivers, I'm sure your big Fleet will not be purchasing this option. If you are lucky they will purchase the face option and not below.
with all those cabinets,its like crawling into a casket to go to bed. I'll pass on this one.
I don't like the change to the front end only thing my 2014 needed was the ladder my kid goes with me and I was concerned he'd slip climbing down
The door pockets are smaller. The open storage above the driver is smaller. Took away the storage area under the desk top. Terrible radio reception. Same with cb. Sub par truck
Squeaks and rattles you out of your mind after a year
780 owners lol'd at this "new sleeper design" looks only like a slightly larger updated 670 interior with cues from a 780
Делают же для людей.
so when is the day they're going to put underneath the microwave the space for 6 cup coffe-machine and toaster? and underneath that, a space drawer for an electric pan? like under the pull out drawer. Make that little counter higher so the frigidaire is under that. Cause while having to wait hours and on at a client that has no truck stop, no facility whatsoever, our Driver's camper needs to be more independent. Underneath the clothing cabinet, put 4 small drawers for underwears, socks and t-shirts... why 4 you ask, TEAM DRIVERS, so 2 each, and seperate the clothing cabinet with a pull out curtain to frontway so it divides into 2 sections. Oh BY THE WAY add 12 inches to the back cabin and put the CURTAINS AFTER THOSE FACILITIES (in front of the sleeping section) so the driver may access those even if the co driver is sleeping. Driver needs to eat on his stop breaks while the other sleep. So there you have it, truck cabin revisited. rofl
Nearly every latch on drawers and storage are broken or unable to open. The latches are made of plastic and can't tolerate the constant vibration!
Why not a built in microwave.....they are a hundred dollars for Crist sake
Muito lindo
Didn't use signals
looks like the platform from a kenworth t700
kenworth should have kept that model
Volvo been offering a lounge for years now
ladder only has 400lb max ????
Pete Mycek lol
While all this is really nice,let's get the fridge up off the floors!
I stripped my FLD 120 and built my own cabinets out of wood. I gained storage space,added lights and a place to store a large micro wave. Best part,no laying on the floor looking in the fridge. The cabinets were made out of pine,stained with "gun stock" by minwax and finished with Tung oil.
( Freightliners are made in Mexico it’s not American made trucks because Iaai directly pick them up from the border and deliver them to the dealer so that tells you it’s not American made trucks western star is the same thing international is the same thing
Finally cascadia copies from Volvo who had this 10years ago
I'll stick with 07 or older trucks thank you
Wayne Dearman used to be the same way man. But finally caved a picked up a 15. Haven't looked back or regretted it at all.
What about the Bed? Volvo is comfort.
This thing was filmed in 2K16
Makes my 2014 Cascadia look really out dated!
gimmie a manual 10 speed and tell me where to sign
wow...
like Beatifeal cascadia
Why the hell you sweating so much? I know your in Nevada but doesn't you Cascadia has AC?
awesome looks like it would be comfy but it also looks really cheaply made.
lee mceachern my thoughts at first with freights but mine has withstood some hellacious beatings
Closet is very small compared to the Volvo
Nice ass truck
Fucking love it
Why buy a RV right?
👍
My 2018 doesn't look like that
No thanks. It's still a freightshaker. I'll take my KW
freight shaker liner. Junk engine breaks down its a freakin headaches
i like the new design, but they copied volvo vnl. i ll like my t680. 579 is not bad either. kw & pete anyday.
Copy Volvo and kenworth fine,but still rides like a tank.put the airbags back on the front end please
Why freightliner stealing the Volvo 780 workstation features. Not cool when they call this new. It's a Volvo innovation from over a decade now
because Volvo's patent has expired Paccar might do it too. Great feature!
everyone makes me laugh when they talk about reliability with freightliner. quick question. how many of you Volvo drivers actually see the road more than you see the shop. Yeah talk about realiabulty. It's Volvo who relies on its look to sell thay over expensive repair job of a truck. only issue I see with the truck is they lowered the weight it can haul. And that front bumper is a huge no no. at some point they have to realize just because they want more aero trucks. lots of shippers and roads are not made for low things. freightliner are extremely reliable trucks. anyone who tries to say Detroit Motors aren't are completed asinine morons and have clearly never had one.
Justin Brooks I always thought that and was guilty of pointing out the way Volvo semi owners were a little bit "peculiar"....you know flip flops, disregard for road etiquette and so on. Then I was put in one and although I won't say they are better than a KW or Pete, I will tell you they are much nicer than a Cascadia. They ride very smoothly, Volvo engine is stronger than the DD and there is no competition for build quality and materials. I would not keep either out of warranty.
🤔🤔6yrs from now on I wait for used truck😋
No built in fridge? Off the floor? Smdh
if I'm ever in this truck it's against my will
ain't no Feelin' like Petermobilin! who the hell needs that much room? say no to curbsniffers!
northern boy i tried pete and god forebod u crash the steering wheel impales you and the whole cab crumples like an empty pepsi can. Lol no thank you. Petes are nice too look at but volvo is waaaay better and more comfortable
Arman 8 I think your turban is too tight
northern boy yeah im white american. I can tell from your attitude and reply that you are obviously a hick. You are delusional if you think a peterbuilt is better in terms of comfort than a modern truck. Dont let what ur personal preference is or what you like cloud your judgment in life. You sound like an ignorant hick, theres a reason why a new volvo780 is 237k and a new pete 389 is 140k
Arman 8 Yeah!!! Let's fight over who makes a better truck!!!! Yeah!!!!
Arman 8 Volvos are trash and you barely can find anyone to work on them. Just overpriced junk!
It need a toilet and a sink
I'll stay with Volvo 😃
junk.....beat my w900 with a c-15 no emissions 800 hp with a studio sleeper mr. shaker
