There are several new trucks in GBO and they have mercedes engines.275 are the first three numbers.Shop guy said they were running out of numbers to keep them 245.The volvo's aren't in yet but are on the way.

that won't be a good thing alot of terms out west it is hard to get a trailor in the dock with the sleepers we got now

I always liked the volvos.They don't call freightliners, freightshakers for nothing.They fall a part setting still.

I forgot the best one,Turn them both on and you think you are a supertrucker.Every time you go under a bridge you let out of it like the big boys so you can hear it.If the team trucks have them I don't know how the guy tring to seep will like it.

Sorry to burst your bubble man but only the sleepers will be volvos,daycabs are still going to be freightliners.

One can dream..... Guess they'll be just like the ole' Watkins trucks?

Is it a fact about the volvos?

That's what the shop guy said and he's usually truthful.He's always been straight forward with me about things.

i heard from har shop this week while i was out that they have 470 hp. engines but corp. had not decided how far back to cut them lets hope they leave the horses alone i don't mind slow speed but we need power for the hills

 

[silvernickel]

[imported_Skywalker]
