For the record, I think American trucks are pretty decent, but the people who just say shit about Volvo and European trucks in general just don't have an ounce of clue regarding what they're talking about. There's a reason why many European originated and manufactured trucks such as Mercedes Benz, MAN, DAF, Volvo, etc. are heavily trusted for commercial trucking service abroad.
Just bought my first truck volvo vnl760, hauling 43000 pound. I did an experiment to find out fuel mileage and this was the result:: 7.1 mpg @ 65mph and 8.78 mpg @ 55mph.
I bought a 2003 Volvo d 12, 10 yrs ago as spare truck for 15k .This has been amazing, works local Vancouver and ice road in Yellowknife 2.6 million km on now and it's running super fine. The pre emissions aspect is most the best.o/o miss on work when service repairs are needed to main truck, I say I want to be a business owner not o/o. I need to service my customer not let other trucks replace me. I find that the revenue I make with spare truck working really off sets the repair bill, I get to keep my coveralls rolled up under the bunk...I did not realize the truck I bought , but know now the gem she is.
@@omarzhur6865how’s yours doing? I’ve been contemplating getting one. I just know I need to find one with less than 650k miles. That d13 is usually so expensive to rebuild it’s not worth it unless you keep the truck in immaculate shape
Over here in Ireland the FH d13 with iShift is a seriously reliable truck and sell in their droves especially the 500hp. Absolutely nobody specs a manual transmission. IShift all the way. Drivers love it.
I have a business with my brother in law, we have one truck and wondering how do I know when I should buy a second truck? Should the idea be the more trucks you have the more $$ you have?? Obviously, the more trucks the more problems. We run RGN trailers and though the market isn't great now we have kept our head above water.
I drove a vnl 760 for about 3 years before my company bought a brand new Freightliner Cascadia in 2020. I've been on the Freightliner for about 6 months now, I absolutely hate it. I know now why people call it the freight Shaker. It's one of the bumpiest trucks I've ever driven, shakes like a crackhead in rehab. The Volvo caters to the driver whereas the freightliners just a utility truck it's purely utilitarian. I go back to a Volvo any day. Honestly I'd go to anything but a Freightliner
@@jeancadet5862that’s what I’ve always heard and 3 of my o/o friends are running them . Several years in without anything electrical and no major repairs. I’m almost convinced on getting one.
what are your thoughts for a 2014 VOLVO VNL64T670. What are some things I need consider before the purchase? What are the common issues with this one? Thanks for your help. 💪🏾
I got a question trying to decide on getting a new 2020 Volvo just because my truck is got 1100000 miles on it. Never changed transmission like others have ( knock on wood). And yes I’ve gone through 3 sets of injectors and always change my oils at 13000 miles since new, transmission and differential fluids every 2 years. I don’t run much anymore. I’m just afraid something goes wrong and spend too much money on it. Done oil samples and everything reads fine. Would you recommend to keep driving it or it would be time for a new one? Thanks in advance
Volvo are good, but the drivelines are GARBAGE. From the joke injector design the jerk engineers FINALLY did away with 2 years ago, to the worthless I-shift transmission that just eats input shaft bearings. The driveline is just plain worthless and underpowered. 1 guy has a 06 with the cummins isx and eaton 13 speed. 1.6 million miles. No overhaul yet, but its days are probably numbered. If I get a Volvo, it would be a pre-smog era with the series 60 and in damn good condition. Chances of finding a nice one are slim. Last 3 I saw with that combo looked like they been in a war and have no clue how they ever passed a dot inspection.
@@TruckYoo How do you think Volvo compare to Frightliner ? I was looking for something 2013+ In terms of reliability - I think Volvo is better but parts are more expensive ?
Check injects and Injector cups. Look at records. It can get expensive when they were not done. I shift is a good trans Volvo's warranty is 750K. After that they are expensive but can live over a million miles.
Hi,I don't think you can check the idle hours in the menu. I pull that information from the ECM when I hook up our diagnostics system. If you are buying from a dealer ask them to pull it for you. Thank you for watching.
You said this all the way back in October of 2019. Does it still hold true today, in 2021? And if so, then can you add anything else good comparing it to the latest model Volvo's of today?
The UA-cam algorithm is really doing the works, if it dug this out of the crates of recordings that you made since then. Just curious, How many UA-cam videos have you made so far?
Hello. I'm Nelson. Love your videos guys. Becoming an owner operator and not sure what to buy. Watching all your videos I have learn a lot. Do you guys sale trucks. Should I start with a old good reliable truck. Like a volvo. 2003 thru 2007. Let me know if by any chance you guys have one for sale. Thank you guys
If we make comparison between older trucks which I missed in my other comment. The legendary 12.7 is definitely the best engine not the Volvo d12. I ran few Freightliners with 12.7 for 7-10 years the reliability was unbelievable! We never touched those engine, never had to tow a truck for mechanical reason and always got 7.5-9 mpg on them, but unfortunately they don’t make those any more and I can’t look for trucks that are 20 years because no driver will have a good reason to deal with old equipments. For now I’m sticking with Cascadia.
Brother thank you for this video. I will be buying a 2004 volvo d12 it has 556k miles. I am negotiating as we speak. It is a day cab so no sleeper. What do you think is a fair price. Thank you in advance ☺
Talk about transportation i shift hkw exp. they come when they brake. Usually at 500000 miles . My bill over 11000. Jerkin in revers under load or small hill.
99 D12 Volvo flat top and I’m praying it keeps fighting the good fight high mikes but replaced all injectors and cups. Won’t beat anyone in a race though. lol
Hey wats going on. Thanks for this video. It was very informative. I'm looking to purchase my 1st truck as a new owner operator. Was looking in the range from 2003-2007. So you would prefer the Volvos of those years over the Freightliner Columbias or Centuries of those years?? Do you have any EGR problems out of any of your Volvos?? And last question, you would prefer the Volvo with a Volvo engine over the Volvo with the Cummins?? I've heard that the only downside to the volvos is that they have to go to the dealership for maintenance. Thanks for all your help
Hey, I do prefer the Volvo over Freightliner in that year range simply because they hold up better. Try driving both back to back you'll see the difference. As far as engine the VED12 over Cummins for sure. I had few of those yeas in the Cummins spec and running them along with my VED12 they had more issues and worse fuel mileage. The EGR is no problem. Also not expensive to fix. I'm not sure where you are located but here in the Midwest there are plenty of shops that will work on them without issues. Depending on what you want to do and where parts could be an issue. Watch my video about spec'ing a truck. Maybe that could help a bit. I appreciate you watching.
If you want to change injector and injector cups more often then you change your tires buy a Volvo D13 . If you want to have a bull gears failure buy a Volvo .If you want to change the cylinder head under a million miles because valve receding - buy Volvo D13. Volvo engine after 2011 it is totally fucked up.
Just a friendly advice. If you are going to talk about something, think it through and maybe draft a little script. I watched the first half and it was difficult to follow.
Lol Volvo is ok if you have a Machanic that is familiar. Otherwise they are a headache for single owner opps. Every shop will charge you more per hour to work on it, plus the dealer will kill you and have you wait a long time. If you are not connected most it likely will be a nightmare. Seriously
I’m not over the road but working as a technician I drive a lot of trucks from all brands the Volvos ride nice and have a great turning radius, the freightliners w/dd15 idle smoothly/the dash doesn’t vibrate, and the kenworths have a nice overall fit and finish along with nice features and ride quality, but got forbid you have an electrical issue it’s expensive every time.
I suppose all mechanics could have a favorite, just like drivers do. Some mechanics may also recommend what they are comfortable working on or if they have accessibility to more parts for a specific truck. It may be easier on them, but it doesn't mean its always best for the truck owner. UNLESS you buy a truck that has slim pickings on parts...that would be excess down time too.
I’m not sure if you were lucky with one Volvo or what! I had trucking company for the past 17 years and we tried every truck and Volvo definitely was the worst piece of truck we ever tried! I’m not talking about one truck but several we tried always same drama and we spent about 200% more to maintain them Volvos🙁 They say you have to spend the extra money on Volvo because it gives you a quite ride. Almost all newer trucks are pretty quite and some of them are even much more quite than Volvo. International for example with Cummins is much quieter than Volvo. Have you seriously tried other trucks before you came to this very wrong conclusion? Do you really think that D13 is more reliable than DD15? Man! For every one issue I have with DD15 there is 10 issues with d13. All my volvos had camshafts problems that costed us $10-17k to fix. I would stick with Detroit engine and if I have to add another engine then Cummins is 2nd engine in mind. All other engines are worthless.
Nope. Injectors/cups issues, iShift air operated clutch cylinder problems, slime plugging up heater cores, trash electrical harnesses (ABS, canBUS faults, aftertreatment). Air compressor unloaders. These things are always in the shop....almost as bad as Internationals with a Maxxfarce.
I had a Volvo I can say the I really liked. However, the reliability sucked!! Even just common PMS. They were more expensive. I love my Detroit fuel an powerful. Ok, yes it does shake. There's no denying that.
When you drive the Volvo in the wind feel like somebody slap you in the face,Transmission problem engine problem ecu problem,Sorry to tell you that I respect for you but the KW on your T-shirt The best truck in the market.
I'll sell you my 2007 Volvo daycab it has a Cummins isx400 with a valve adjustment, new clutch and rear main seal new driveshaft seals, new suspension airbags new shocks new break pads still have about 100 thousand miles left. New headlights with LED white stripe and turn signals, New leveling valve, oil serviced every ten thousand miles and I run 55 mph never has left me on the side of the road!!!!I installed a Bluetooth radio last summer I'll let it go for $7 thousand dollars
Worse trucks ever made!!I had one garbage why Europeans buy these garbage trucks is beyond me...I went with Peterbilt and have half the problems.I had an 2006 Volvo couldn’t get scrap price for it.Go Pete or Freightliner.
As a mechanic new peterbilt trucks are garbage. New Cummins engines are even worse than newer Volvo’s. And paccar smh boat anchor for sure. Volvo engine from 2000 to 2007 are really great engines if you know how to work on them. Engine valve adjustment is the easiest out . But again these are the pre emissions Volvo the newer engines fail a lot not because of the engine itself but because of the def. also people have to understand if you buy a used Volvo that big companies have cut the balls off by the time you get it the engine has worked twice as hard. That’s with any new truck and some old engines. I have guys with 60 series that hate them. After a rebuild and a tune the love them. Same with the Volvo engine and older Cummins. That’s why I tell guys if you have an old truck by a crate motor and make it yours. Get something used you get used problems.
We have plenty mechanics and they have no problems with those engines. Cascadia/Merc is nightmare and cost of parts is killing. Paccard engines/Daf/ are reliable but needs care and servis is nightmare. Every new engine with def/adblue/ sooner or later brings you problem.

That’s why I tell guys if you have an old truck by a crate motor and make it yours. Get something used you get used problems.
We have plenty mechanics and they have no problems with those engines. Cascadia/Merc is nightmare and cost of parts is killing. Paccard engines/Daf/ are reliable but needs care and servis is nightmare. Every new engine with def/adblue/ sooner or later brings you problem.
