That truck is nice. Plus you got the big bucks. What's not to love. I'm jealous. Is Red a 2015?

According to the truck # it's a 2016.
I sure like the looks of the Volvo sleeper trucks better than the Internationals.

Yeah I just noticed that .... Even sweeter. As a P&D driver though I prefer my old Volvo single axle (2006) 800K ..... Don't like all that Techno stuff. And the A/C will run you out on low. She's been well maintained and in perfect running order. I love my old girl. And she is loyal to a fault.

It's nice to see guys take pride in their equipment. If you take care of her more than likely she will take care of you. We do have some older equipment but those are well maintained. If they become unsafe they are discarded. No exceptions.

If I told you that their sorry ass did get run off you probably would wonder how I knew that. So I won't tell you that. But I will tell you this. When mistakes are made with the fleet people are held accountable. With today's technology mistakes stand out like a sore thumb. When they cost the company money most the time it's cost them their job.
