Duane Cohens drives this 2023 Freightliner Cascadia for Jersey City, New Jersey-based Langer Transport, hauling out of the company’s Rock Hill, South Carolina, terminal pulling chemical tankers. Cohens runs to the Northeast, along the East Coast, to the Midwest, through the South and along the Gulf Coast. The Cascadia is powered by a Detroit DD15 with a DT12 automatic transmission.

It’s the 30-year trucking veteran’s first automatic truck, and he admitted there was a learning curve. “I had to keep reminding myself there’s no clutch and gearshift,” he said.
