In 2012 our truck was involved in an incident and was out of commission for almost two months. During the time our truck was down we became drivers for Expedite Services.   We were able to put 109886 miles on our truck bringing our total miles on our Cascadia 203314 and the truck still feels brand new.  

Here are a few of our costs and a little about what they mean to us:

Fuel:   $35,800 which gives us a figure of .32 cost per mile to move the truck.

Fuel - Off Road fuel for ONAN Generator $1175

            We do not idle our truck for heat, for cooling or while waiting to load or  unload.

Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) $944

            Our DEF cost is .008 per mile

Laundry $303

Truck Wash $708

Truck Repair and Maintenance $4080

            This includes new Michelin XZA3 Plus steer tires and all new batteries.

Lifetime fuel mileage for this truck is 11.449
