The new Freightliner Cascadia will be among the highlights of the Freightliner Trucks booth (#1300) at the 2017 TMC Annual Meeting, Feb. 27 – March 2, 2017, in Nashville, Tennessee.

The model features numerous improvements to benefit performance and enhance the overall driver experience. The booth will also have a cutaway cab that showcases the truck’s spacious Driver Loft configuration.
