Driving a truck has always been my secondary career choice if my factory job ever became in jeopardy. This video literally makes me almost want to pursue a truck driving career. I honestly would if I wasn’t already making over $1,000 after taxes at my current job.
For 1 trip my dad usually makes $6,000-$10,230 so it is a good job but it comes with risks and it’s hard to leave your family when you have to go again but pay is good
@@joemama2586 being a truck driver is just for be a little bit rich in your retirement You need to work a lot, and when you finished, you can buy a good house and you'll have money for keeping yourself until you die
And a lot of companies and governments make it hard for truckers, cheap foreign labour, legislation, low wage, long days. It's dispickable. I would love to be a truckdriver but you get treated like dirt.
@@MrTruth111 Trucking can have long days and tighter work hours legislation is being written and coming online, with foolproof anti cheating technology. Still, you can make a nice blue collar living driving a truck. The trick is, who you work for. If you work, for one of the national over the road carriers, then you can expect to be out, for long periods of time, hardly any family time, and the money is not worth it, to me, but different strokes for different folks. Instead, you can work for a LTL company, Kroger, Walgreens and the work schedule is 180 degrees, from what MrTruth suggests may be the norm. You're out and back every day, a five day work week, really good pay, benefits, 401-k. Not all out and back companies work the same but there are many to choose from and they are all hiring. I have been a driver, for an out and back company, for over 20 years.. You would be shocked to see how good my work situation and my compensation is. I would match it against any blue collar job.
My father spent his whole life trying to become a truck driver and when he got his CDL liscense and became a truck driver it only lasted 5 years and this truck would have been the ultimate birthday gift for him rip pops at least you got to live your dream. 20-14-1970 to 04-23-2021
It’s amazing how Volvo has evolved their product to accompany the careers of truckers. These trucks are in fact your home, income, and your transportation all wrapped into one.
As a diesel mechanic for thirty years ,I have worked on Volvo trucks for years ,not my favorite to work on but I can say this this company trends in new ideas for the over the road truck
That makes two of us. That being said, it's not like I'm complaining from my bed (which is rather simple, near archaic). The point is that a person does not need a whole lot to sleep well (that's the case for me, at least), but the extra luxury and comfort can only help. So, hats off to Volvo for going the extra mile :)
It's funny that you caught that because I didn't even mean it that way when writing it. Now that you've mentioned it and I read my own comment, it does sound sort of funny :)
That same basic platform has been around since the 1997 model year. Over the years they've updated the interior and exterior style...it's a well thought out design, honed over the years to be better and better, much like a Porsche 911 has. I've driven four of them in the last 22 years (and many other makes as well).
When I had the one with the dinette I loved it. I slept on the top bunk and lived on the main floor. TV was mounted on the wall. It was great. Then I switched companies and once again had no room and watched TV laying down. Dinette is the way to go.
Trucks are for make money, not for living in. Better have 1998 freightliner w Detroit 60 pay in full no problems all, lake this china product ,to many electronics to many problems .Take car on highway and see how many Volvo park on shoulder. Regarding ergonomic 5-6 hours and you done. In old trucks 18-20 no problem. One more thing windy day and beter park. Mechanical perfect injectors fail from 160000 to 210000 average my detroit 60 have 1950000 yes million nine only one injector must be replaced $650 volvo ? $5800 to 6800

@@marykulon6725 "Trucks are for make money, not for living in." Only someone who doesn't drive trucks could say that. OTR drivers are on the road so often, always sleeping in their truck, some only home 1 weekend a month, that basically IS their home.
I love the Volvo vnl series! They are the best automatics on the road! Make sure if you get one you have the buttons where you can shift the transmission yourself if needed, trust me it helps. Don't really care for the shifter on the seat but I'm a big guy so it may not be a problem for a lot of drivers. Smoothest most comfortable ride did I had. A lot of their safety features are amazing
It’s fun reading comments from non truck drivers! Want to pay my respects to drivers behind the wheel last 30 years or 10mil miles behind. You keep the industry’s. I learn from you professional drivers. Thank You. Live long and safe and receive what you earned! I pray you don’t get a blown tire or 10 out of service!! Always with respect when driving city vehicle my fellow truck drivers!!
I loved my 780 when I had it. The Sleeper was like home. To see the new lay out makes me want to ditch the day cab and get a sleeper again. I dont need a sleeper anymore but this truck makes me want to get one lol. Now I wonder if this one has the sink built in..
Delivered Walmart groceries to a Trucker that was at home. It was about $500 order. We just loaded up his badass Volvo in the front yard . He said I have plenty of space for a month . I said his rig was soo cool . He thanked me and said He worked long and hard for his OWN rig. Another small business owner created in this country !!!
Have 2 Volvos a SUV an a Sedan, , my cousin who drives a Volvo tractor had mme observe the engineering in his Long hauk truck before I made the decision to invest in 2 of them for the SAFETY of my family . Glad I did. These VNL looks so good I might get a retirement job and escape on the road for a while (smile)
This truly captures what it's like to be a truck driver: relaxing in the cabin, beautiful mountain scenery, fly fishing, craft beers with friends, shrimp cocktail, etc.
I will be buying one in about a year or two. 2022 or the 2023. I will be living in my truck fir at least the first 5 years. I have no attachments holding me down. Closing house and selling everything and the rest in storage. I'm putting in at 15 years. Studying now hard-core. Test in a few weeks then CDL school. Totally focused.
Look at the Volvo FH series in Europe if you think this has much technology. These trucks look like they're from 1995 compared to newest real Volvo trucks.
Now only if they made the foot of the bed elevate..for my swollen legs! Love the room for the piss bottles..makes tossing them on the highway much easier! (Hubbys thoughts not mine!) But for real Volvo please fix the bed
All the new things Volvo has come up with to make our jobs as over the road truck drivers more comfortable is truly awesome I can't wait to get my hands on one of your new trucks
Hate to say this but Volvo trucks are by far the most comfortable, driver appointed and fuel efficient trucks out there and they can turn on a dime. Sorry for being negative toward other brands but after 30 years of gearin and steerin,the old back tells ya this is a great truck to drive. God Bless You All and Jesus Christ Loves You All. Seek Him while there is still time.
So true buddy, I have driven everthing, mack, international, kenworth, peterbilt and volvo. Volvo is by far the most comfortable. I own a Peterbilt 379 right now, If I ever have to replace it I would go with volvo.
I am also a truck driver in Vietnam but I only use Volvo 2005,it is great to be able to drive with full amenities like a Volvo car even if it is still far away.I love Volvo...
What that truck really needs is autonomous driving, so you can take a nap in the cab or watch the beautiful nature while that thing drives itself. The empty desert and mountain highways look perfect for that.
That is really a nice truck. Much too nice to overlook for mere tradition (Petes and KWs) ... I drove the old double bunk for awhile. I really liked that because the lower bunk was extra wide and would raise into a table with bench seats on each side ...
WOW the new Volvo is awesome. I’ve driven Volvo’s for years. I like the new dash over the older one and more adjustments in the steering column. In the sleeper it’s wider and I know I’m 6’1 plus the ladder to the upper bunk. I used to step on the lower bunk then the cabinets to get to the upper bunk. The new side window shades and controls. They’ve improved the I-Shift transmission sound interesting. I will say the I-Shift transmission with traction control is the best truck I’ve ever driven on snow and ice and I drive in the Pacific Northwest, I know. Also they have recently come out with a heated windshield, I noticed the elements in the glass. One thing I’d wish they would do is install extra high intensity LED high beam lights in the cab visor so when I’m going through the Columbia River George at night , at 3am more headlight is better then less headlight. In the winter at night in a rainstorm it can get so dark and theirs no sub lighting from cities , etc. You are running along I-84 against a rock wall-the Cascade range mountains on one side and the Columbia river on the other side. But all in all that new VNL truck is awesome 👍👍👍👍 , so many improvements over the old models.
I am a Truck Driver, it's a litter late for me to get a truck like this .About to retire. But if you are young and starting to drive trucks. You get a truck like this just lived in your truck and stack your money while you are working and sleeping nicely. You only will have Truck payment and fuel cost. 5 to 7 thousand a week. Add that up a week for a month and surely you will see how much money you can make in a month.. While living in your truck....
MADE A TRUCKS LIKE HOME ! AWESOME ! MAY BE THAT'S EVERY TRUCKERS DREAM, DRIVING SAFTY AND COMFORTABLE, EVENT CROSS THE COUNTRY, DRVING A LONG, LONG WAY, BUT IS COMFORTABLE AND SAFTY BECAUSE THAT'S TRUCKERS LIFE
Wow. Volvo is killing the game and continuing to enhance the experience. I ran step deck 2016 Volvo automatic Atlanta to Cali last year and thought I would hate the automatic but was very impressed with the complete package/space/ride. I still prefer manual, 13 speed, extra long stick in floor, but would like it in one of these new GlobeTrotter series. What does 6% equate to? 8mpg? I'm going to check out the new Petes to see if they are keeping up BC well, a Pete is s Pete. Lol
Im a tech for Penske fleet service. Volvo has really stepped their game up in multiple areas. Preventative maintenance is a breeze with Volvo (except for codes when applicable) and the extra room comes in handy if I have to sleep in the truck. The only problem drivers complain about is the hand bar to the left of the steering wheel. I banged my knee on it a couple times and left a lasting impression. Some drivers wrap it with a towel and owner opps completely remove it! (Except for the older guys) Compared to Freightliner, and International , Volvo has the least amount of issues which keeps the wheels spinning and my pockets grinning!!
That is a good looking truck! Great video from Alpha SQUAD. I'm hoping to become a truck driver with my wife. We're hoping to go to truck driving school together and leasing or buying a Volvo. We recently saw a video of a couple with an extended sleeper on a Volvo truck. Thanks again for the video!
@@lydiaanderson3312 Hello Linda! I took a serious detour...I'm currently on a job most people dream of when they don't have a degree. I plan to return to the good old USA this yr and maybe consider going to a CDL school, not sure yet cause the world has changed after this virus hit the world. Thank you for the follow-up!
I saw a documentary about a german trucker in the 70's who had to drive to some arabic country, and that took weeks to get there and weeks to get back, and with 0 comfort and no airconditioning and digging alot of sand because at some places he had to drive and dig his way out of the dessert, and only a simple singe bed behind the driver seat and no fridge for cold drinks, no nothing at all, so every trip was one big and hard adventure and alot of sweat. Trucks of today almost drive themselves and the interior has become a half campervan with all the luxury and comfort, so a huge improvement compared with trucks from 45 years ago.
Why can't you go fishing? In the U.S your limited to 11 hours, I run 13-14 here in Canada but if I did a U.S run I'd have 2-3 hours extra every day to do stuff. I'm sure you can find some good spots along the highway to stop at.
It is just what we had in Europe some 20 years ago...its only the bigger bunk....and is there any overnight heating ?...or still have let the engin run?
Я ездил, на Freightliner cascadia 2016 г... как бы это сравнить...Просматривая это видео, понимаешь значение слова «класс» или « марка». Ультрасовременный грузовик! Спасибо Volvo, за заботу о водителях - дальнобойщиках! Наверное, управлять этим чудом инженерии - одно удовольствие.
I am never impressed by the "all the options included" model sold in every car/truck/tractor commercial. The fact is companies sell vastly more of their "economy" models to fleets than they do their "all options shown" models. Any comparison of any manufacturer should be based on their "base" model, aka "their most sold" model. Any manufacturers ultimate option model is impressive, if you put down enough cash. How about your basic model, what does that look like hey?
18:24 The whole video is quality up till this moment when he steps in, like no one thought hey let's get this guy a Lav mic so he doesn't sound like shit... Someone in the AV department forgot the rule about multiple audio mics and I bet the editor was like really guys this is the best you could give me.
Very nice. All these types of things I tried to rig in my trucks back in the day. Then I got an International Pro Sleeper when they came out (94?), and thought it was like better than sliced bread.
I think when you put your hand on the manual stick your muscle memory tells you what gear you are in by how far out the stick is, you are just so used to it

Volvo trucks took off only after they bought White Trucks and Mack !
This truck is really a Mack...

I am a Truck Driver, it's a litter late for me to get a truck like this .About to retire. But if you are young and starting to drive trucks. You get a truck like this just lived in your truck and stack your money while you are working and sleeping nicely. You only will have Truck payment and fuel cost. 5 to 7 thousand a week. Add that up a week for a month and surely you will see how much money you can make in a month.. While living in your truck....
Enquanto isso no Brasil, somos obrigados a passar um mês inteiro dentro de uma cabine que mais parece uma caixa de sapatos.
MADE A TRUCKS LIKE HOME ! AWESOME ! MAY BE THAT'S EVERY TRUCKERS DREAM, DRIVING SAFTY AND COMFORTABLE, EVENT CROSS THE COUNTRY, DRVING A LONG, LONG WAY, BUT IS COMFORTABLE AND SAFTY BECAUSE THAT'S TRUCKERS LIFE
Wow. Volvo is killing the game and continuing to enhance the experience.
I ran step deck 2016 Volvo automatic Atlanta to Cali last year and thought I would hate the automatic but was very impressed with the complete package/space/ride.
I still prefer manual, 13 speed, extra long stick in floor, but would like it in one of these new GlobeTrotter series.
What does 6% equate to? 8mpg?
I'm going to check out the new Petes to see if they are keeping up BC well, a Pete is s Pete.
Lol
been driving 42 years. no company will ever give us one of these.
Are the flip-flops, fingerless gloves, and giant white sunglasses included, or do they cost extra?
Dont forget the ditty balls and two michelin mans on either side of the sunvisor
I'm a professional photographer, and for reasons I can't explain, I'm saving up for this truck 😳
If this was released in Malaysia I bet everyone would try their best to buy it.😂
Im a tech for Penske fleet service. Volvo has really stepped their game up in multiple areas. Preventative maintenance is a breeze with Volvo (except for codes when applicable) and the extra room comes in handy if I have to sleep in the truck. The only problem drivers complain about is the hand bar to the left of the steering wheel. I banged my knee on it a couple times and left a lasting impression. Some drivers wrap it with a towel and owner opps completely remove it! (Except for the older guys) Compared to Freightliner, and International , Volvo has the least amount of issues which keeps the wheels spinning and my pockets grinning!!
That is a good looking truck! Great video from Alpha SQUAD. I'm hoping to become a truck driver with my wife. We're hoping to go to truck driving school together and leasing or buying a Volvo. We recently saw a video of a couple with an extended sleeper on a Volvo truck. Thanks again for the video!
Have you gone to driving school yet?
@@arkansaswookie I think maybe the divorce is still pending.
@Hello Luis Gutierrez, How are you doing?
@@lydiaanderson3312 Hello Linda! I took a serious detour...I'm currently on a job most people dream of when they don't have a degree. I plan to return to the good old USA this yr and maybe consider going to a CDL school, not sure yet cause the world has changed after this virus hit the world. Thank you for the follow-up!
I saw a documentary about a german trucker in the 70's who had to drive to some arabic country, and that took weeks to get there and weeks to get back,
and with 0 comfort and no airconditioning and digging alot of sand because at some places he had to drive and dig his way out of the dessert, and only a simple singe bed behind the driver
seat and no fridge for cold drinks, no nothing at all, so every trip was one big and hard adventure and alot of sweat.
Trucks of today almost drive themselves and the interior has become a half campervan with all the luxury and comfort, so a huge improvement compared with trucks from 45 years ago.
This makes trucking look so cool... As a trucker your doing nun of that stuff. Wish it was this fun, fishing under a load.... Lol
Why can't you go fishing? In the U.S your limited to 11 hours, I run 13-14 here in Canada but if I did a U.S run I'd have 2-3 hours extra every day to do stuff. I'm sure you can find some good spots along the highway to stop at.
What's it like ?
It is just what we had in Europe some 20 years ago...its only the bigger bunk....and is there any overnight heating ?...or still have let the engin run?
love it, cant afford it.
Lol
Kenneth Phillips Who just buys a truck
Wassup Foo a truck driver of course but mainly an owner operator. Instead of using the companies truck they can use their own.
Not for owner operators expensive .Same Volvo in Europe is 95000$ Brand New
I can't. But my boss can
Я ездил, на Freightliner cascadia 2016 г... как бы это сравнить...Просматривая это видео, понимаешь значение слова «класс» или « марка». Ультрасовременный грузовик! Спасибо Volvo, за заботу о водителях - дальнобойщиках! Наверное, управлять этим чудом инженерии - одно удовольствие.

never knew Liverpool team couch works in volvo
This is my dream truck. I don’t even drive Big Rigs but I would buy this.
Awww that's cool
Are you a truck driver
I love these things.
Im in love with this Truck !!!
I am never impressed by the "all the options included" model sold in every car/truck/tractor commercial. The fact is companies sell vastly more of their "economy" models to fleets than they do their "all options shown" models. Any comparison of any manufacturer should be based on their "base" model, aka "their most sold" model. Any manufacturers ultimate option model is impressive, if you put down enough cash. How about your basic model, what does that look like hey?
Bit of a bitter pill aren't you?
The reefer seat😂I need that
this is interesting they make it look like fun lol
'Reefer Seats'?
I'm sold.

The whole video is quality up till this moment when he steps in, like no one thought hey let's get this guy a Lav mic so he doesn't sound like shit... Someone in the AV department forgot the rule about multiple audio mics and I bet the editor was like really guys this is the best you could give me.
Very nice. All these types of things I tried to rig in my trucks back in the day. Then I got an International Pro Sleeper when they came out (94?), and thought it was like better than sliced bread.
When I saw the thumbnail I thought, Conor McGregor's new career?
Volvo is truck number one in the world. I want drive is very exceptional.
That woman has no idea about driving a truck. Shifting comes natural and u never think about which gear ur in.
I think when you put your hand on the manual stick your muscle memory tells you what gear you are in by how far out the stick is, you are just so used to it
Oh my god. I just wet her to say the same thing you already did.
I-shift is amazing... I can tell you've never tried it.
I don't understand why they need a marketing lady to explain something technical.
I think she was probably referring to newbies and not veteran drivers.
