Eddie hits the road in one of our new Volvo 760’s to showcase some of the new features and how this truck will help improve safety. It is a welcome addition to our fleet.
My company has the camera too they did not want the driver having to reach all the way forward to the windshield and hit the active button on the camera so they installed a remote button on the dashboard Within Reach of the driver to activate the camera which is really nice that way you're not reaching for the windshield you just push the button on the dashboard which activates the camera if there's anybody in front of you being Reckless
Just a quick comment on the camera. The camera can't go backwards and record. Which mean it IS always recording. It just doesn't keep the recordings. Just the incidents. Just thought I'd share that.
My side sensors pick up Road Tar it's so damn distracting it takes away from watching the road. A pencil pushers that sit at a desk all day that come up with this crap don't realize how it is to be driving on the road.
Nice Volvo good video Eddie i was wishing you would have showed the inside sleeper area? fridge? tv? inverter? microwave? apu? bunk width? crawl up ladder top bunk? storage? closet space? bunk heater? sleeper controls? lighting? would of been nice to see what KKW offers their drivers...
Mate, we have all those sensors and toys and lot more since very long time here in Europe, definitely European trucks first! Drive safe in the meantime ☺
Bulls Shit, that alert system, is only as good as the traffic conditions, If you people put more Faith in those tips of system's you shouldn't be hiring Drivers, because you are going to Elianate your Drivers, to leave do to being accused of unsafe driving,.
Beeping is annoying. Nothing wrong with being safe but companies are doing too much. What if the company records how many times the truck beeps? Something to think about.
i run a dedicated route and currently i go through 9 constuction zones on my weekly route. all the dummie bells and whistles on this truck would drive me nuts. to the point i would either get them disabled or i would find a carrier that didnt have them. now that dash cam...thats a must-have with all the south americans and russians trying insurance fraud nowadays
I’m older, kids are grown and that’s when I got into it. Always wanted to do it.

Man, that beeping gets old pretty quick!
Yeah it can definitely get on people's nerves.
Amazing Volvo Truck. Love it! VOLVO POWER.-
We love Volvo too!

I’m glad I’m an owner op. I follow these standards. But California will never see my tires.
Can somebody buy that truck just with adaptive cruise control, without other sensors and beeping?
I am not 100% sure but I believe you can. Should be able to adapt it to fit your needs.
You can turn it off
@@kkwtrucking3252 yes. all that "safety" crap is indeed an option
Nice Volvo
good video Eddie
i was wishing you would have showed the inside sleeper area?
fridge?
tv?
inverter?
microwave?
apu?
bunk width?
crawl up ladder top bunk?
storage?
closet space?
bunk heater?
sleeper controls?
lighting?
would of been nice to see what KKW offers their drivers...
Thanks for the idea! We will see about producing another video that includes those things.
I would hate to be trying to sleep in the bunk and have my co-driver keep setting those alarms off. It would be pretty annoying.
I like that message, stay a rookie.
Hope there is a way to turn off that beeper!! Omg that would drive people nutz listening to that all day for weeks at a time.
I believe there is a way to turn it off. It was in all on mode for this video.
I love volvo
So do we :)
Should have kept the Kenworth. A true driver's truck
That beeping is annoying sheesh can't you silent it
Yes I believe you can. We just had it on to show how it works.
Mate, we have all those sensors and toys and lot more since very long time here in Europe, definitely European trucks first! Drive safe in the meantime ☺
Drive safe as well!
Eddie for president!!!
Love it!
They need to send some of those new trucks to the reno guys.
This is probably in the works. I'm not sure how the shop is doing it but I know we are getting more this summer as well.
When you're idling does the sensor goes off?
You got intermodal in SF bay? I saw a day cab driver on the Richmond bridge. Im looking for a home daily gig
We do run that area. I'm not sure if we have home daily available but if you call our recruiters will know 855-557-1205
@@kkwtrucking3252 Lol, a little long on the response. I have moved to socal since.
@@dvsmike Haha sorry. Figured I would still send a response. Best of luck to you.
Do you miss shifting gears and being able to hold gears on hills. I'm new here. Im a rookie subscriber lol
I’ll forward this comment to Eddie
One of the reasons why I got into trucking, not married no, kids, and no family. Time to hit the road.
Love it!
Does this company require a PhD to get hired?.
55 is way to slow. Only in cali
I'm lost

Definitely. It can be annoying for sure. Appreciate you watching.

Don't u think doing a video wile driving is a safety hazard come on driver lol
@@raymondtrotter9462 yes i do. in fact a buddy of mine was just fired from tralo for doing just that ...distracted driving
Annoying babysitting technology
Agreed it can be annoying.
Who's recording those beeps that make you a 'bad driver' in that shit state.
Volvo's are the worst.
I wish trucking companies had standard transmissions smh. Everything forced automatic now.
They say less maintenance, better fuel economy, and easier to drive. Long term it's cost effective to have the automatic
same because they cost much lest due to its reliability
