Yep its true, 16,000 kms on the clock and she's very poorly. I couldnt get the problem solved at Vancouver so it was a trip round to Freightliner back in Lethbridge to get it fixed under warranty. Well we took her round and came back without her.
She needs parts ordered, the blowers are knackered, the A/C wont run on the Tripak, the headlights are more crosseyed than a Newfoundland Redneck and she keeps on over heating.
So anyway she got a few days bed rest and i had to go H&R in a bad state of trucklessness. I went up to dispatch and explained the situation. Literally within seconds i was allocated a temporary replacement, an even newer Cascadia with only 7,000 kms on the dial, it belongs to a lad called Neil (hubby of Lorna who works in dispatch), it was all new and sparkly and new and clean and very new................ did i say it was new !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anyway i had 3 days before we had to pick up Claire & Andy so all i could do was a trip over the rocks. It worked well though. When i got back i gave the truck a good scrub out and handed it back, hey Neil i dont know if you read this but if you do thanks for a nice clean truck, i hope it was clean enough for ya when you got it back.
