Oversize Permits

IDOT is authorized by the Illinois Vehicle Code and the 92 Illinois Administrative Code 554, Sub-chapter F, with respect to highways under its jurisdiction that IDOT may, at their discretion, upon application and good cause being shown therefore, issue special permits authorizing the applicant to operate or move a vehicle or combination of vehicles of a size or weight of vehicle or load exceeding the maximum specified in this Act or otherwise not in conformity with this Act upon any highway under the jurisdiction of the state of Illinois. An Oversize/Overweight permit is required, when a vehicle or load exceeds legal sizes and weights, and is to be moved upon or across a highway for which the state is responsible. Permit applications are reviewed for bridge tolerances, construction zones, height clearance and several other safety concerns. The new Illinois Transportation Automated Permit system (ITAP) system allows customers to go online and apply. Most permits are immediately issued. Oftentimes, in order to complete your move, roads NOT authorized to be permitted by IDOT may be necessary. In all such cases involving local jurisdiction roads, permittees MUST obtain permission from appropriate local authorities prior to movement.

Freightliner Coronado

Freightliner Coronado
The Coronado is Freightliner’s traditional on-highway truck and features an aerodynamic design, a spacious cab and a wide range of powerful engines. In the last years, the truck has been continuously improved as Freightliner added a host of advanced technologies and a wide range of enhancements to make it able to go head to head with success against the other trucks in the segment.

The Freightliner Coronado is suited for a wide area of applications such as local or single-trailer distributions or major B-double line haul jobs. The engines available for Freightliner’s rig are either the Detroit Diesel DD15 or Cummins ISX units with power options ranging from 485-600 hp.

We are independent dispatch services.If you’re interested how to be a successful dispatcher and how to make money dispatching trucks we can help you.

The Freightliner Coronado is priced around $120.000 and is available in three cab versions (Day, Extended and Sleeper) with four heights configurations.

Design
The Freightliner Coronado features a robust and imposing design with a conventional cab configuration. The huge stainless steel grille, the square bonnet and the massive bumper give it a purposeful stance. Besides the radiator grille, there are also two air intakes mounted on the side of the bonnet which minimize the intake of water, dust and debris.

Freightliner has also paid maximum attention to the truck’s aerodynamics. As a result, the Coronado’s curved windscreen is sloped at 24 degrees to reduce wind resistance, while the bonnet guards, headlights, mirrors, air intakes, the angled front bumper and the bonnet handles were designed to offer a low drag coefficient.

The bonnet tilts almost 90 degrees and features a tilt mechanism for easy access to the engine. To keep the overall weight to a minimum, the bonnet is made of fibreglass, being also easy to repair thanks to its ‘parting lines’ design. The bonnet guards are reinforced with impact absorbing material to help eliminate damage and cracks.

The truck’s headlights are a bit rudimentary for our taste, but they feature a single high-tech reflector providing adequate front and side illumination. The bulbs are also pretty easy to change as all you have to do is tilt the cab.

We also like that Freightliner has fitted the Coronado with a two piece windshield designed to make replacement easier and cheaper than a conventional once piece unit.

Interior
Thanks to the well placed grabs and the anti slippery steps you’ll be able to climb inside without too much drama. As it was expected, the cabin offers plenty of space with more head- and leg-room than you’ll probably need. In fact, the cab is up to 20 centimeters wider than most of the conventional cabins available on the market and is also pretty solidly built being able to exceed rigorous crash-worthiness standards.

The squared dashboard design however, looks a bit dated compared to other trucks in the segment and we’ve growing tired of the Freightliner’s fake wood trim which doesn’t do anything to give the dash a modern feel. On the other hand, we like its wraparound design as it is highly functional and easy to use. The controls are also well placed and we also like the instrument cluster layout which is fairly easy to understand and its huge white gauges are designed to be seen even from a mile away.

For more convenience, the truck received a completely flat floor which makes it easy to move throughout the cabin. We don’t have any complains about the high backed seats either, as they are fairly comfortable and come with a wide range of adjustments. Moreover, the truck’s four spoke steering wheel is wrapped in leather and can also be adjusted for reach and rake allowing you to easy find a comfortable driving position. As most trucks in the segment, the all round visibility is also top notch and the plate sized door mirrors are pretty good too, keeping the blind spots to a minimum level.

The cabin is also well isolated, while the large, rigid doors come with double seals for superior noise reduction, offering a quiet and relaxing ride. Furthermore, the sleeper cabs are packed with noise abatement material in the floor, front wall, sides and back panel. The front cab mounts feature a ‘pillow block’ design for efficient isolation, while the rear mounts use air springs mounted outside the frame rails. There is also available a separate control panel which permits you to adjust the heater, air conditioner and lights.

For enhanced comfort, the big cabinets feature plenty of storage spaces and there is also available a stow-away bunk in the raised roof model providing extra bed space when it’s needed.

Engines And Transmissions
The Freightliner Coronado is available with a choice of Detroit Diesel DD15 and Cummins ISX engines.

The DD15 unit features a powerful integrated Jacobs Engine Brake, an Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) system and BlueTec emissions technology. The engine was especially designed for long haul operations and develops between 455-560 hp with maximum torque figures between 1550-1850 lb-ft.

The Cummins ISX engine meets EPA’s 2010 regulations and features an advanced fuel injection technology, improved cooled EGR subsystem and a VGT Turbocharger. The unit also uses Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) technology for enhanced fuel economy and lower emissions. The Cummins ISX power ratings range from 400-600 hp with a maximum 2050 lb-ft of peak torque.

Thanks to these powerful engines the Freightliner Coronado can be rated for 106,000 kgs Gross Combined Mass for general highway use.

The truck is offered with a choice of either Eaton Manual or automated transmissions with Freightliner’s SmartShiftTM paddle mounted on the steering column.

Ride And Suspensions
The Freightliner Coronado features a low tare weight starting from 7,857 kgs, which translates into a bigger payload capacity. Needless to say, that the truck’s chassis is built on heavy duty frame rails which provide a solid backbone. The Coronado’s Meritor rear axles are rated to 20,870 kgs and the rear suspension comes in a choice of Freightliner AirlinerTM or Hendrickson PRIMAXXTM airbag systems. There are also available 6.35 or 6.5 tonne Meritor packages for the front axle.

The ride is pretty comfortable and the suspensions can deal with most of the road bumps with ease, offering a pleasant ride. The pillow-block front cab mount are also designed to offer additional comfort as they can absorb shocks and vibration without too much drama.

Verdict
The Coronado features a heavy-duty built quality and its rugged character is sustained by a strong chassis and powerful engines. The truck may not be the most reliable in the business, but it’s still able to get the heaviest jobs done without any problems.

Freightliner Columbia truck

The combination of a high-power Caterpillar C15 engine and the light tare of the Freightliner Columbia makes for a useful intrastate prime mover. Tim Giles hits the road.


When the new specifications of the 2008 range for Freightliner was announced the increased power available in the Columbia went unremarked.

But by specifying higher power in the Columbia model Freightliner has extended its capabilities up into the intrastate B-double market.

This test sees the truck hauling a combination loaded to just under 60 tonnes out of Melbourne for a trip along the Princes Highway through East Gippsland.

If you’re a truck driver and you want to join trucks dispatch our affordable truck dispatch company would be glad to offer you our dispatching services.

The route is relatively flat but has enough variation in it to replicate the kind of work this truck will be expected to do day-in and day-out, with some open highway running and regular towns en route to get through with tricky tight road junctions to test the manoeuvrability of the truck plus some short climbs to gauge the power available.

This model seems to epitomise both the best and the worst of what the North American truck has to offer in Australia.

The tough and reliable driveline is matched with a superstructure kept sparse by the extremely price conscious United States truck market.

Firstly, it offers a solid, dependable and excellently engineered driveline, most of it not Freightliner product but vendor supplied to the manufacturer by industry stalwarts like Cat, Roadranger and Meritor.

Secondly, the cabin itself is lightweight with minimal options in the way of extras fitted and with enough room for driver and passenger and very little else.

The US fleet market requires very little in the way of creature comforts for drivers and Freightliner offers a similar basic day-cab specification to its North American competitors.

What the Freightliner Columbia does have is a sleek modern look with its well curved front bonnet with inset teardrop headlights, making it look to have a relatively low drag coefficient.

The mirrors are shrouded and are painted the same colour as the bodywork, further reducing drag, and the exhaust stacks are tucked neatly behind the cab.

The enclosed mirrors work better than the ‘west coast’ style mirrors having rectangular rear view and spotters, taking up less space and giving the driver a better idea of what’s going on behind the cab.

Also, a useful down facing mirror is fitted on the passenger side to cover the blind spot on the near-side of the cab.

Visibility from the driver’s seat is relatively good for a conventional prime mover with a large engine.

The bonnet is quite large but does not compromise the view much and the windows are large enough to help see around the truck. However, a small window in the passenger door would improve the near-side visibility if fitted.

Our truck dispatch services in USA offer cooperation for truck drivers and owner operators. If you work with successful dispatchers you make your job easier for you.

Engine
The day cab Columbia was fitted with a Caterpillar C15 ACERT engine rated at 550hp and putting out 1,850 ft lb of torque. The driveline continues to the Meritor RT46-160GP rear axles with a 3.91:1 rear axle ratio.

This set-up is designed to give the operator enough flexible power to handle intrastate work plus keep rpm levels down at cruising speed.

The new ACERT engines are designed to work hardest low down in the rev range and spending too much time operating in the higher rev band around 1,800 rpm can lead to a considerable fuel efficiency penalty.

Luckily, the C15 has enough real grunt to mean the driver can keep the revs down, changing up a gear as the tachometer approaches 1,500 rpm without losing momentum.

The new ACERT Cat sounds like a big engine, feels like one from the driver’s seat and when push comes to shove delivers the grunt, when required, to handle 60 odd tonnes of B-double.

This capability is coupled with the relatively light Columbia design with optimised chassis design and very little steel in the cab itself. Tare weight is claimed by Freightliner to be 7,788kg for cab and chassis only.

The actual tare of the model tested is not that low but this model must be one of, if not the lightest, 550hp prime mover available on the Australian market.

Transmission
The Caterpillar C15 engine is backed by a manual Roadranger 18-speed gearbox.

Cab And Controls
Once inside the cab is surprisingly spacious with plenty of headroom and no feeling of being cramped for space. While there is plenty of room the same cannot be said for useable storage for the driver — it is minimal.

The left-hand drive design allows for a large pocket on the driver’s door. This is not replicated on the other side, the Australian driver’s door. Instead, a blanked off visibility window in the lower door reduces the size of the pocket drastically.

Elsewhere in the cab there is little room to store anything for the driver; even the logbook had to live on the passenger seat on this test. There is plenty of floor space for some form of storage and regular Columbia drivers will be able to improvise their own solutions between the seats.

Inside the cab the wraparound dash is definitely mounted close enough to the driver to be easy to use. The timber effect on the dash does not look very wooden; plain plastic would probably have looked better.

On the right of the central console the trailer brake is mounted in a good position where it is mounted close to the left hand.

At the bottom of this console there are two drinks holders and it would seem the drinks in the US must come in different sizes as it is difficult to get anything to stay in them when the truck is moving.

The holders do not fold out, they are a solid moulding and as such do not grip the drink in the same way as the more usual fold-away holders.

Overhead there are two DIN spaces for radio and UHF and, in a binnacle to the right, a small push button opening shelf.

There is also a useful pocket a little further away from the driver, difficult to access but would be very useful in a left-hand drive version of the same truck.

The seats themselves are the Ezyrider model available from Freightliner in recent years. They are extremely roomy and comfortable and the right arm rest is useful.

However, the left armrest cannot be used as it rests too close to the gear-stick, making it very difficult to change gear (another argument for fitting more Autoshift gearboxes).

The seat also lacks an integrated seat belt instead using the B pillar to mount the seat-belt.

Performance
Out on the road the ride from the Airliner four bag rear suspension and front taper springs on a 4,550mm wheel base is smooth and steady. Surprisingly, it rides better than the same chassis and suspension on Sterling prime movers with the same wheel base.

The response to the right foot from the Caterpillar engine is typical: power and torque are available but in their own time.

As a driver it is necessary to get into the Cat’s rhythm when changing gear waiting longer for a response than from other engines.

However, when the power or torque does arrive, that split second later, it arrives completely. The feel from the engine is reassuring and never appears to be working too hard, coping with the task with aplomb.

This combination will have little trouble handling full weight B-double work in and around the city with the broad top torque band making for relaxed gear changing.

Tackling a roundabout in Sale and this driver decided to leave the truck in the top box.

Approaching in fifth gear low and turning right on a tight roundabout pulling a fully loaded B-double set is quite an ask and the whole combination came around at 900 rpm. There was a little bit of vibration in the driveline but it proved very easy.

Generally, there is quite often some vibration coming from this engine and driveline; the power and torque could be described as being heavy handed.

This is possibly as a result of the combination of high, heavy power and a relatively lightly built chassis system.

This year has seen the introduction of a new system from Freightliner with the new splayed front section of the chassis making room for a unified engine and radiator package developed for the new lower emission engines.

The 1,625 square inch radiator is mounted directly onto the engine before being slotted into the chassis.

This makes for a more compact package as the radiator can be mounted closer to the fan as there is no movement between the two out on the road.

By moving over to this new mounting system Freightliner has managed to increase cooling capacity for the hotter 2008 engines without having to make major engineering changes on the shape of their conventional trucks.

All in all the move up the horsepower ratings works well for the Columbia, with truck buyers only needing to choose Century Class at around the 600hp mark.

This extension of the specification does call into question the need for two models in similar areas of the market and explains the introduction in the US of the Cascadia models.

Cascadia covers applications using both Columbia and Century on one platform designed to be flexible enough to suit all needs.

Whether we see this model appear in Australia is not certain but the Century and Columbia models are likely to become more similar over time.
