2018 Pre-Series Freightliner Cascadia Truck Tour

[@leir2005]

That truck is amazing!! Congratulations to Bison Transport and thanks for uploading!

[@BIGBLU19]

freightliners are ahead of the game with this one...best truck out, hands down.

[@victorcocut528]

Hi.Im Victor from Romania Europe.Thanks for this beautiful presentation of this special model.It's special!All the best!

[@furiousghost4996]

The 2018 Series is very nice, the ladder and refrigerator is what drivers needs. Please consider in working with more space so a 6.0 - 7.0 feet male can do push-ups and sit-ups. Trucks need to also be designed for the trucker to keep fit . built-in bars for sit ups, pull ups, push ups and a portable treadmill.

[@time2live337]

The latter for the top bunk is a plus! Good looking truck.

[@keithgreen70]

Time2Live It's about time that they caught up to Volvo and put in a ladder.

[@KILLASAURUSFLEX]

Keith Green now if Volvo could just build an engine that didn't blow a valve or throw a piston every 1000 miles they would be set.

[@keithgreen70]

My 2015 Volvo has 140k miles without a single problem.

[@ph11p3540]

Oh I love the front end on that truck. The engine grill looks a lot better than the old Freight Liner. That truck means business. I say that as a non trucker.

[@MaxximumRage]

wow I want one now, thanks for a great in-depth video

[@BisonTransport]

Justin E Glad you liked it. Thanks for watching.

[@warmuslimthegamerpro1069]

US Xpress will start next year with the 2018 they told us in the driver appreciation day

[@KulinBan777]

Paccar and Navistar need to step up their game cause this thing is a beauty

[@yywoshizhuheng]

Very nice ! But Why the front bumper is so so low on the ground ?

[@AJDeere]

thats the ugly part of the truck... yeah what if he hits a speed bump??

[@BisonTransport]

The lower part of the bumper comes off for winter and it improves aerodynamics in summer.

[@AJDeere]

Oh i get it.

[@HondaRedneck16]

as a fleet mechanic I can already see me fixing hundreds of those when we get these trucks

[@plumbingstuffinoregon2471]

+Jason Moyle wow bro

[@carlosmedina1594]

the best truck ever , im work in Daimler Saltillo , and here born this new truck

[@kennyfuller9775]

Really nice. One day I hope to be in one of those.

[@BisonTransport]

K Fuller Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@lostinlife647866]

New engine mounts to make for a more quiet ride. Ok how long until everything in the interior starts to sqeek and rattle. Freightliner loves to use plastic and the lack of rubber grommets gives it that freightshaker feel, sheer amount of plastic !!! Lets not forget , did freightliner fix that built in cb antenna in the ceiling ??? Since it's all redesigned will that mean more breakdown time and more time sitting on the side of the road not making money due to the lack of freightliner not working out the bugs out

[@Hawksforever99]

Don't forget about all the mechanics that now have to learn yet another design and how things work/where they're placed with the new design!

[@jaybiberstein9920]

I Drive A 2012 Cascadia, 480,000 miles, no squeaks yet in the cab. A Real miracle considering the company we lease from can't balance steer tires.

[@shayearl2369]

Mike Garofalo won't take long to squeak

[@shayearl2369]

Jay Biberstein my 2012 is rough as all get out. cab noise front end play and rear sway. and everything has been replaced. this will be my last freightliner

[@BoostedDeere]

Shay Earl -get a Pete. I love my pete

[@nertz4579]

USA Truck has one, seen it at the Van Buren terminal last Friday, must say I like it.

[@mohcenekouchit6459]

Bison vous êtes vraiment les meilleurs,

[@ArcticDragonGames]

the front bumper is designed poorly. that bottom part is way too low. an accident waiting to happen

[@imabigdil]

ArcticDragonGames there gonna be tore up bumpers all over the road

[@BisonTransport]

ArcticDragonGames Mack Ryan Aerodynamics. It can be removed - especially in winter.

[@mrvwbug4423]

Question is, will you legally be able to remove the airdam in the US, supposedly they are supposed to go nuts with fuel economy regs very soon, and I don't see the change of administration changing that given trucking policy is driven by the lobbyists that represent Swift and Werner who will do anything to reduce fuel use.

[@williamwarner3982]

Bison Transport it will be removed. By pot holes, rail road tracks, truck stops, customers drive ways, etc. Just don't blame the drivers.

[@weialles_weinix3900]

William Warner Can I give you 10 thumbs up for your comment?!

[@Abc-vr7tk]

What a nice trucker, great video

[@Crybabyhere]

For me, it looks nice, I like the opening of under the hood, inside cab, lights great, storage is less because of you are team, need room to roof to take for you, all trucks are going to that sleeper set up, ladder I found to be a joke, the bunk looks up more than old models to it. I love the big window, where is the backup camera under the spot lights and forward camera to help get closer to things. Two alarms is good, does it play white noise to help driver fell asleep for first 30 minutes.

[@Crybabyhere]

Need storage space up to the roof

[@davidv.8765]

Nice truck! I see steering wheel buttons and dashboard display is from Mercedes Actros 2012

[@HoangNguyen-gy1ll]

awesome truck, making me want to be a truck driver..thanks for the video!

Es un orgullo pertenecer a la familia daimler y cada dia ver como nuestros productos se encuentran dentro del gusto de nuestros consumidores

[@SuperBrokenfingers]

Nice dash/instrument panel! The new Western should have one this nice since I think is a nicer looking truck. This is a sick truck too tho. I wish I could afford to own one.

[@robertjackson8905]

looks like a western starr beautiful truck

[@The_One_Over_There]

i like all of it, specially the head lights, BUT i dont like the front bumper at all, that can be fixed though, i,m pretty sure there are ways to make it look a little better, or i just have to get used to it, maybe i'd like it after a while

[@ShawnTheDriver]

I want to get a CDL just to drive this truck, man. Thing is beautiful.

[@Fatal_J92]

Finally!!! You have no idea just how happy I am to see that they put a dam latter to get up to the top bunk lmao as I'm sure so many other people are as well. Lmao nice truck

[@curtiss1543]

Nice truck Eric and good video. It's almost enough to tempt me to get back in. Lol

[@adriannicholson8819]

how the regeen working for you my one is making all my computer shut down have had it back to them and it a 10 doller part that is fulty

[@PPE707]

Finally it gets redesigned!

[@scottkailey1]

Its about damn time they re did these trucks

[@jsj297]

scott k now enough room for two large men to lay together in the back, as this is the #1 truck of the gay trucker world.

[@scottkailey1]

??

[@Hawksforever99]

Should work quite well for TFIWS!!!

[@robertleejameswelch8383]

These aren't bad, but I am a Kenworth guy. The T-680 with a 10-13 speed manual transmission, Cummins Diesel ISX-15 with an APU is truly a workers truck.

[@josegarza4786]

first speed bump, pot hole or dip and that bumper is gone.

[@BisonTransport]

jose garza Low bumper is for Aerodynamics. It can be removed - especially in winter.

[@_Z0_Z0_Z0]

bumper wont be gone. Trust me. My car is lowered and speed bumps and pot hole does not break my bumper.

Tiger ezpi just your suspension

[@banurigopalreddy4014]

@@BisonTransportwhat if this truck is going on the highway during summer? Will the AC work properly

[@TrojanStarCraft2]

My question is how much of this is upgraded options? Everyone knows big Carriers will go with the base model.

[@rushcummins8257]

thank you men! you sound a cool boss to work for,

[@ulisescastro3566]

I love this truck

[@wesleybaxley2810]

Beautiful truck I’m in Oklahoma are y’all hireing

[@plumbingstuffinoregon2471]

one thing that I hate about most new trucks is those ugly looking aerodynamic wheel covers and the fact that a lot of trucks now have automatic transmissions and super singles. I wish there where still more long hood trucks with the air the cleaners on the side of the hood and tall smoke stacks and lots of chrome.

[@plumbingstuffinoregon2471]

the front bumper is so low I'd be afraid that it would hit speed bumps. Its not a bad looking truck, I just like classic trucks better

[@ilikeittight01]

the GOOPER. I see a lot of road kill avoiding in the neer future for that bumper

[@jaybiberstein9920]

I Agree, Give me a real truck.

[@plumbingstuffinoregon2471]

+mat kas that would be very interesting

[@mrvwbug4423]

You can make the modern streamlined trucks look good usually even from the factory (they have a lot of nicer looking wheels, trim, etc on the option list for O/Os who want a nice looking truck), but for the huge companies that operate these by the 10s of thousands they don't care if the truck is pretty, they only care that it is profitable and gets the best possible fuel economy.

[@j.tamazingcichlidman5033]

Seen one of these at the Petrol, Love the new look......

[@BisonTransport]

Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@marvinreyes8731]

Super cool 👍

[@PaulJordan318]

Way better than my 2016, I like the look of this 2018, but what's going to happen to that really low front skirt when I'm running through 2' of snow🤔⁉️ Well winter is coming.

[@grandbalais]

Loblaws bought 4 2016 daycabs , played with the power and speed limit 100 kph instead of105 , issues with climat control and brakes , the volvos with 455hp eat the detroit dd15

[@linasmarcinkevicius]

Great review! :)

[@aboversite]

Are these the ones with the software problem that won't let the engine perform if it's colder than -20 C?

[@jalenjamellable]

man that truck is sweet

[@fairarthur]

the redesign Freightliner Cascadia looks like the Volvo 780 and the Kenworth T680 had a baby.😜

[@Bobs2cents]

Beautiful truck, inside and out. Great job Freightliner! I hope, however, permanent design revisions are on the way for the front bumper. Old mufflers, deer carcasses, lost tires are going to have body shops going crazy.

[@BisonTransport]

Thanks for watching. The bumper is a test model and can be removed in winter.

[@cadenconnolly]

This is the deluxe model, mainly for owner operators.. if you work for a mega carrier you're going to be lucky to get something that is even base model. Most carriers order Bare Bones below base model.

[@BisonTransport]

Hi VinzClortho, thanks for your comment. You are right in some cases. This is a deluxe model but it is a company tractor. Bison's gold tractors are company and our white ones are owner-operators. We often state that we spec our trucks how an owner-operator would, so in that case we agree. Our professional drivers spend a lot of time in the tractors so if we can add features that improve their safety, comfort, and well-being, it is a worthwhile investment. Thanks for watching.

[@amzaddeshvidesh1366]

Nice truck but which company going this truck

[@ronaldkirk9685]

Awesome truck.

[@BisonTransport]

Thanks for commenting. Yes, this has been a very popular truck.

[@pinoyimage2882]

The front looks mean! Except for the lower bumper flaring

[@rapsaknad]

looks pretty good. i own all Pete 389s and I luke the interiot on that.

[@BisonTransport]

We have a number of Petes in our fleet. Here is a blog post about 'Petra the Peterbilt'. blog.bisontransport.com/2016/08/petra-the-peterbilt

[@westlisbon6307]

What if there is snow on the road. Will the lane departure system continually go off? Can the lane departure be shut down.

[@BisonTransport]

Good question. We would need to check this specific model but the lane departure systems we have tested in the past have been able to be disengaged in these types of scenarios.

[@djcarlcee]

Nice

[@hawkman2000]

Ill keep my 2013 Pete 386 with the ISX15 and 9 speed manual Eaton Fuller Transmission thanks!

[@BisonTransport]

Ok. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@no_idea8012]

Is there any particular reason these trucks don't have digital a/c? I think that for someone who is going to be inside the vehicle for a long long time and also sleep in it, being able to choose the exact wanted temperature is important. Or drivers don't really care about it?

[@hamlettelmah441]

Even the horn sounds aerodynamic, i heard you can drive this truck upside down in a tunnel if you drive it at 200+ mph just like a Formula One race car.

[@travisjohnson536]

looks like a Mack Vision

[@jassajatt2513]

When drivers gonna get this, i m exited ❤️

[@BisonTransport]

We have shiny new Freightliners entering our fleet this fall!

[@jixter_boy2452]

why is the front bumper so low to the ground?

[@davidbucknell5731]

is that for company drivers??...and if so, can anyone have one assigned for them?, or just the senior guys??

[@BisonTransport]

Hey David. While there are only 12 of these trucks in North America currently, we imagine once they roll out mass production they will be added to our fleet. Our company Drivers on average drive equipment (Freightliner or Volvo) no more than 2 years old.

[@sukhdeepsingh5661]

Very very very Nice

[@angxuanmanh1413]

help me please I come from Vietnam. My truck is currently broken down. DEF level emply but I don't know how to fix it. Can you help me? it is really difficult. Could you please give me a video to fix this error? thank you very much!

[@dudelivestrong]

Hold up are these standard features?

[@zoltanthewizard410]

that is a bumper or a snow plow, or a combo?

[@bostarbird5282]

When the ladder is down looks like it will be in the way of the bottom bunk to get out of it.

[@Geofranoficial42]

gente sou apaixonado por esse caminhão...

[@k.r.v.4219]

Ok very nice. But how much hp. What is the fan and plastic box mounted behind the cab? Some type of cooler?

[@BisonTransport]

It’s the condenser for the battery-powered air conditioner. Thanks for watching and asking.

[@k.r.v.4219]

Ok thanks so much for getting back to me! It's been ten years since I feel off from the load of my dump trailer while topping the load in the wind and hurt my back, once and for all! So I've been retired since my back operation. But there was a time I drove over the road for fifteen years accident free, mostly in the American North East, to Tennessee. But like every thing else in life, time marches on, along with all the changes and advances! Have you seen that prototype Tesla tractor? That is electric and runs on hydrogen? It has 1,000 hp and 2,000 ft lbs tq! All while having a loaded running range of 800-1200 miles depending on how heavy the load is. With the equivalent of 12-15 mpg!!! There is an article about that in the latest Car &Driver! Of all things!

[@BisonTransport]

Hi Kevin. Thanks for your comments. We are pleased to hear about your recovery. Yes, it will be interesting to see where tractor technology goes.

[@johnrondeau1180]

The after market sleeper. Cost over 70 thousand. I've seen trucks online. I wonder how much they are for a 207 to 2010 per month is. I messaged someone how much it would cost for a 2017 petebilt. He said about 2,500 a month. That's a lot of money. So do you know how much a 207 truck would be per month it?

[@samuel2006ok]

excellent.

[@firstwest2474]

4:26 - check engine light on - Is that to get the driver used to it being on a lot - lol

[@jsj297]

firstwest247 freightliner, the Ford F-150 of the big rig world. (Junk)

[@Jimmyxsx]

jsj297 F150 is the most reliable truck in the market, why do you think is the best selling pick up truck in the Us lol

[@virdaeous5433]

firstwest247 You see them Rpm's? At 0?. The truck is not on and even the oil pressure is at 0. A lot of trucks have a check engine light on until you turn them on and after a few seconds it goes out.

[@virdaeous5433]

Also at 4:28 the light off lol...

[@firstwest2474]

Called comedy......................dingleberry

[@clarknawrocki3851]

frieghtliner is a good truck I like mine

[@scottwitkowski1298]

Did they fix the power steering that intermittently would lose boost, yet Freightliner denied the problem exist?

[@mrvwbug4423]

Coming soon, in absolutely massive numbers, to an interstate near you, mostly likely with the letters SWIFT on the side.

[@BisonTransport]

The price varies a lot, but you would spend about $150,000 CAD and up.

[@mcrock52]

Are they still making it in Mexico? That needs to change.

[@smokeu600]

First speed bump,or driving in winter and the front bumper is getting damaged.

[@hankschrader149]

need to jack up the radiator cap and drive a 389 Peterbilt under it!

[@greganderson5653]

You can see the FORD footprint all over the truck. Compare the front grill of the truck to a F600 ford. Looks almost identical.

[@Hawksforever99]

Interesting then, since Freightliner is owned by DAIMLER...AKA CHRYSLER...but you know...imitation IS the best form of flattery =)

[@greganderson5653]

Im just saying looks like a ford. And ford did sell their heavy truck line to freightliner.

[@cblewis13]

Daimler dumped CHRYSLER years back.

That low front bumper won't last long the first gator or rough truck stop lot and it's gone

[@1kurosagy]

Rodney Stewart or heading to Cali in a pilot in Hesperia california

[@dudelivestrong]

Rodney Stewart that's what I was thinking. Then they'll blame the driver.

[@BisonTransport]

Rodney Stewart Its for Aerodynamics. It can be removed - especially in winter.

[@bettyswollocks7683]

Bison Transport do u know why in Europe we don't have bullnose trucks only COE's?

[@Chuck59ish]

What's the difference between having two tires on the rear axles as opposed to singles tires on the rear axles? You see trucks in the States with singles, but most Canadian trucks have two tire per axle. I'm not a truck driver, just asking.

[@keithgreen70]

Charles Damery The super singles are lighter than the dual tires. The problem is that they suck on snow and ice plus if you blow a single out you have to pull over on the side of the road immediately or you will destroy the rim.

[@Chuck59ish]

Sounds like good reasons, especially during Canadian winters.

[@dropbear6740]

Don't think it would last 12 months on Australian country roads, would need to change the front for bullbar, but it does look good

[@jimmyt7514]

Nice Rig but, too much Micro- Management...

[@victorhobson5078]

Hope they fixed the automatic braking. Love having the brakes locked up for no reason because the all mighty computer thinks something is in the road that isn't

[@luckyfromsurrey]

Wowza, I can put a cell phone on that shelf? golly

[@mikem5519]

What has it come to that you need to do. Software update on your engine

[@BisonTransport]

Yes, trucks have more onboard computers than some small planes. The trend will only continue in that direction.

[@atomm7316]

honestly the asesability to components for the engine is well though off, unlike the new cars were they hide everything.

[@LayzeeGiant]

Winnipeg, huh? How many months til the frame rusts out

[@BisonTransport]

Thanks for commenting. We are not sure why you ask this specifically but here is a reply that may be relevant. Our company fleet is all newer than 48 months so we don't have rust issues or try to cover things up with cheap fixes. We have a very modern fleet and heavily invest in preventative maintenance. Specific to Winnipeg, we often have suppliers tell us their product is fine with winter conditions like extreme cold or salt. We often have them visit us in February so they have a clear understanding what a Canadian winter is like. We also test a lot of products in extremely harsh conditions to ensure they can meet our needs.

[@jsj297]

Fully automated for all the Swift drivers out there......it will even jack knife it automatically.

[@banurigopalreddy4014]

I like this truck so much dude
