Here are just a few negatives about Volvo
1-just try to do anything to the motor,just open the hood and all that sticks out past the cab is the fan hub.I was in a Cummins shop with my last truck (An Int'l) to get a simple repair done that took one tech about an hour to do and in the next bay was a Volvo getting the same thing done and I was told it would take two guys all day long to do the work. 2-price one of these.I look in the truck papers fairly often and from what I read no truck is more expensive to buy and worth less at trade time than Volvo. The numbers just don't work in favor of Volvo for an owner operator,not this one anyway.

It would seem that there are a number of companies that have much more faith in them than I do. And, remember the "DRIVER'S ENTERTAINMENT NETWORK" on the TV in the restaurant at T/As? 20 minute commercials for Volvo. That was right after Freightliner bought part interest in T/A... Who's sleeping with whom?????? :shock: :shock:
