jfoster Posted July 29, 2011 Share #16 Posted July 29, 2011 "Since Freightliner bought them.". I think that's the problem. Did a dot insp on Clint Bowyer's nascar transport, 2011 Frieghtliner, and the a/c wasn't working. Bad part was it was a rental because their main tractor had broke down, go figure.

Jayceesfolly Posted July 30, 2011 Share #18 Posted July 30, 2011 Dan: I have a slightly used Volvo that you could use. It is only 6 weeks old and less than 20,000 miles. It might need to have the paint touched up though. Actually, mine is in a little better shape than this one. Jim PS: The driver walked away with minor injuries.

FuzzyRSTD Posted July 30, 2011 Share #21 Posted July 30, 2011 Yeah, that's the truth. The Government is making everything better... You got that right. I am seeing the same problems in our trucks at work, the newer trucks. We have had to have some extra training on the procedures for the emissions systems and so forth. The orange lights and the red lights and the green lights. Our trucks are sometimes used at slow speeds when potholing during summer and using sweeper brooms(5 MPH). Then in winter we are plowing snow and ice and salting at some times very slow speeds and never over 35 MPH or so. I use an older tandem, it has it's problems and sometimes I wish they would hurry and get my promised new truck, but then after some of the problems I see them having, I have second thoughts.

Jayceesfolly Posted July 31, 2011 Share #22 Posted July 31, 2011 The company I work for leases all their trucks and our trucks are never more than two years old. Because we change trucks every two years, we have very few mechanical problems. I have only broken down twice in four years. Once for a flat tire and once for a bad alternator. I only work two or three days a week, so I only put about 90 K miles on a year. If we have a mechanical problem we just make a phone call to the leasing company or push a emergency button on the dash and they send the repair people out to us and fix the problem. For security reasons, we have three computer systems, in the truck, that tracks us by satellite and keeps the company up to date on our location and monitors the operation of the truck. We drive "plain jane" Volvos. Model 780's that are painted plain white for security reasons. They look like every other Volvo on the road. But they are outfitted with all the comfort things for living on the road, APU's, refrig, microwave, TV, DVD player, ipod hookups, and Internet w/e-mail. A home away from home.

Its designed so that the power train goes down under the cab in case of a collision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
