Another great vlog. I’m totally with you regarding the gearbox situation the Volvo I shift is the only automated box around that works. Traxon, which is fitted to DAF, MAN and Iveco is useless . How ridiculous that you can no longer spec a manual on any make of truck anymore. Or if you still can, the price is outrageous.
Hello, it's great to see that they've given you one of the best trucks on the road(the other ones also start with the letter V) my younger brother also drives a 540i-shift, great trucks, bit better than the Scania 500 he drove before. Ive been following you for a couple of months now and really enjoy your travels around spain&france, takes me back to when I was in transport many years ago. Enjoy the Volvo and if your boss goes to take it off you we will get a petition going to change his mind(unless it's to give you a new one) 😂. Tack care out there, & Keep Trucking x
Wow always nice vlogs I'm addicted to your videos especially when you take me places, I feel like I've already visited there haha. Keep doing it. Love from Anthony.
Love your videos. 20 years ago, I drove a coach, and I had to lift the ferry lift when boarding because the front axle was set well back. Safe travels ❤
Out of the 3 trucks you have had wile working for Steve by far this Volvo has to be the best in every aspect , stay safe have a pleasant weekend & keep on trucking xxxxxx
Bumblebee Volvo , very nice 👍🏻 Encourage Mr Fellows to let you try the new Scania with their latest gearbox …….. sublime 💨😉👍🏻. Great video as always Sherralin , thanks for taking the time
Hi Sherrralin Thanks for the tour of the Volvo. I’ve always been impressed with them but for me I’m not a great fan of these bull bars on the front of any truck to be honest but that’s just my opinion. Take care out there and stay safe. 🚚
hi sherralin great looking Rig Volvo truck are great up there with Scania in performance pulling power with load on trailer colour looks great all the gadgets to assist with height the camera setup is great hopefully thats a keeper for you till next 1 look after yourself stay safe on road xx
Hi darling looks a very nice bit I'm surprised it hasn't got the new style of side mirrors I was travelling on a bus he had the the new style of mirror which is inside and the and the camera outside I could have done with that oh how I hated mirrors freezing up freezing up and 3 inches of ice on the mirror arm another very enjoyed video you stay safe out there ❤️
Hi Sharralin you got a nice truck there , so much better than days pf old . If it was me I would prefer 16 speed manual box but never had auto . Good luck stay safe x
Hi 👋🏻 Sherralin . That’s a little bright 🤩 But definitely better that the DAF 🙄 I’m driving a DAF and yes the lights are pants 🩲 but I’ve still got a stick for my gears lol 😆 Looking forward to riding along in the yellow dream machine 👍🏻 x
The iShift gearbox is brilliant. I was lucky enough to test drive a Volvo FH fitted with a 750 engine, loaded to 75 tons at the track in Gothenburg. The rig pulled away really smoothly and it drove with the agility of a car. Absolutely no effort for the engine and gearbox. I’m sure you’ll love your new truck.
I’ve got a dual clutch FH. Gearbox still makes me smile it’s amazing. My cabs not as well specced as that and as a result I’m not a big fan of the cab bang your head a lot of your tall!
Lovely lorry with all the extras just ashame the beds not as comfortable as the dafs but I'm sure you will cope😉😄👍hope you have many happy safe miles in 👍
Hi Iam an ex Wiltshire boy driving Roadtrains, In a Volvo in Western Australia. Enjoy ur video Next time you visit your sister look us up, Have a coffee Will even take you out for a drive if you wish..
My mate used to have that truck, it’s a 540 dual clutch which is the reason it’s so smooth, I’ve got 2 on my fleet and they are unreal, I think the “front volvo camera” you mentioned is actually the rain sensor for the auto wipers.
@@GBtrucklady button should be on your wiper stalk, it’ll light up green when activated. Also, if it spits it’s dummy out and needs a reset, push the hazard light button wait for it to flash and press and hold again until you hear a click, it will reboot the truck’s electrics. Then just switch back on with keys. I may have had a few FH’s in my time 🤣🤦♂️🫣
Great I’ve found it! My friend told from NorScot told me about the reset thing, how mad is that!? who would have thought of doing that without some help? Thank you 😁👍🏻
the other good bit is the fact you can leave the retarder on and when you have cruise engaged flick in and out the retarder acts and you find you have very little brake use, great vlogs enjoy the fact you are going into really tight situations not just in and out of rdc's etc, regards John
The lorry looks amazing with so much technology. Hopefully, it's a pleasure to drive. I love Nescafe vanilla or caramel coffee lol. Technical question how do you keep from chipping your nails and if the truck is in ferry mode and you drive off the ferry will the truck let you know you need to change the air pressure? Really enjoying these vids.
😂😂 I was taught to always wear work gloves. My brother used to say, you can tell a bad driver by the way they keep their hands. Looking after your equipment is important, there’s no equipment more important than your hands. No, if you’ve put the suspension down you need to remember to raise it again. Thanks for subscribing, you might find some of my older videos interesting although they are in an older format so if you’re watching on tv they might not look right.
I have a friend that drives Scania and Volvo. He says the same about the gearbox, and he says the steering in the Volvo is better, especially under heavy load. He doesn't like the Volvo handbrake (he is not the only one) and he thinks that Volvo's front screen is too small. I am sure you will be happy with your transformer. Edit: I don't know if you have had a truck, fully on air before, just remember if you are loading manually, you can use the air to roll downhill both ways. It really is nice. Edit: Just saw your Gibraltar video and I now know that you are very familiar withe air suspension. Did not try to be patronizing.
that volvo stands out for the correct reasons SHE is a BEAUTY 😍😍 i think you should give her a NAME ... just hope you dont get FLASHED at every day by DHL trucks 🤣🤣
My favourite ever would be a Scania 164 580 the one with the bunk above the windscreen. But of modern lorries it would still be a Scania, S580 / 660, in my opinion you can’t beat the V8 engine.
Two things you would I have to get your nails painted yellow?😂 and your cupholder if you tap it in it will bounce out rather than yanking on it put other then that It looks as if you have got one which is fully loaded nice and clean and like you said at the end we should be able to spot you. All the best
Hi there I am new to your channel. Enjoying your videos so far so good. I would love to do European work, if I was single. No good for me tho being married, as I only see the wife at weekends as it is being a tramper.
I may have worded that wrong. It releases slowly like the hill start control. In certain situations it won’t, like when you are dropping a trailer, it senses the changes (don’t know how) and you have to release it manually. I must admit I still release it manually most of the time as it’s how I’ve always driven. 😁
Very nice rig. I wonder how it would translate here in the states with a left hand drive. The amenities it packs in such a small space is very nice. Thanks for sharing!
Excellent videos your a true professional
Thank you, very kind. 😁
Beautiful color. It looks good on any vehicle!
I love it! 😁
Nice truck, i always liked Volvos. Great videos. Stay safe out there.

That was a great review of the truck my dad drove a daf many years ago and the lights were brutal so nothing has changed there 😂
Honestly, candle light is brighter! 😂😂
Wow nice tidy truck
It’s certainly a head turner. Thanks for watching 😁👍🏻
Hi Sharralin you got a nice truck there , so much better than days pf old . If it was me I would prefer 16 speed manual box but never had auto . Good luck stay safe x
Yes I agree but I guess we’re old school.

DAF headlights 🤦🏼♀️😩 unbelievably awful. Yes a manual box is the best. 😁👍🏻
Now that is an impressive outfit 👍👍
Thank you. Still finding buttons that I don’t know what they do! 😂🤣😂
@@GBtrucklady best leave well alone then 😁😁

Looks great , thanks for sharing .
Just subbed 👍
Thanks for the sub! 😁👍🏻

Fantastic bits of kit is a volvo.. you get what you pay for..

great truck, good info.
Thank you. 😁
Lovely lorry with all the extras just ashame the beds not as comfortable as the dafs but I'm sure you will cope😉😄👍hope you have many happy safe miles in 👍
The beds a bit narrower but it’s still comfy. Thanks for watching 😁👍🏻
Very nice enjoy safe trips .You was saying about the handbrake the Renault trucks have same idea.xx
Thanks for watching 😁
Renault and Volvo same company basicly.
I’m not in Mexico I’m in Macclesfield 😂but really yours is a great channel stay safe and enjoy the truck
😂😂😂 Macclesfield the Mexico of Cheshire 😂😂😂
Thanks for watching 😁
That's a nice volvo best of luck 👍
Thank you. 😁👍🏻
Beautiful truck.
Hope you put the camera at the middle of the cab, for an overview when you drive. 🤩💛👍
Thank you 😁👍🏻
I would love to see how that gearbox works. Stay safe.
Hi Iam an ex Wiltshire boy driving Roadtrains, In a Volvo in Western Australia. Enjoy ur video Next time you visit your sister look us up, Have a coffee Will even take you out for a drive if you wish..
Hi, that would be great. Hopefully next year. Thanks for watching from the “other side” 😁👍🏻
Lovely looking truck 👌🏼 be careful of the bull bar on this one lol 👍🏻
😂😂 I’ll do my best 😁👍🏻
My mate used to have that truck, it’s a 540 dual clutch which is the reason it’s so smooth, I’ve got 2 on my fleet and they are unreal, I think the “front volvo camera” you mentioned is actually the rain sensor for the auto wipers.
Oooo “auto wipers” haven’t found that button yet, back to the book! 😁👍🏻
It certainly is smooth 👍🏻
@@GBtrucklady button should be on your wiper stalk, it’ll light up green when activated.
Also, if it spits it’s dummy out and needs a reset, push the hazard light button wait for it to flash and press and hold again until you hear a click, it will reboot the truck’s electrics. Then just switch back on with keys.
I may have had a few FH’s in my time 🤣🤦♂️🫣
Great I’ve found it!
My friend told from NorScot told me about the reset thing, how mad is that!? who would have thought of doing that without some help? Thank you 😁👍🏻
That truck is all singing and dancing
They have the i shift in coaches aswel!
the other good bit is the fact you can leave the retarder on and when you have cruise engaged flick in and out the retarder acts and you find you have very little brake use, great vlogs enjoy the fact you are going into really tight situations not just in and out of rdc's etc, regards John
Yes retarders are definitely worth the money, the Scania retarders work in the same way. The DAF ones are on or off.
There should be a partition in the fridge then the side closer to you is a freezer, great videos 👍👍👍
Ooo thank you. I’ll see if I can adapt something. 😁👍🏻
@@GBtrucklady should be a white plastic thing that folds so you can get it in then locks in place, that’s what’s in mine keeps my ice cream frozen 👍👍
Can’t see one of those anywhere, must have gone missing over time. I’ll try to find something. 😁
Very nice,almost tempted to renew my licence and get one.😂
😂😂😂
Nice bit of kit that truck.
Thank you.
Anyone know where ya can get one of those tables from ????? Nice truck too like the colour 👍👍
The lorry looks amazing with so much technology. Hopefully, it's a pleasure to drive. I love Nescafe vanilla or caramel coffee lol.

Drove a man auto the other day totally gutless,volvo def the best truck out there
I hope you keep it well deserved
Thank you 😁👍🏻
Ferry mode is when you lift the front and rear suspension to its highest so it doesn’t bottom out going on the boat
🤔That actually makes more sense than the way it’s setup now. I’ll have to read the book on how to reset it. Thank you. 👍🏻
I have a friend that drives Scania and Volvo. He says the same about the gearbox, and he says the steering in the Volvo is better, especially under heavy load. He doesn't like the Volvo handbrake (he is not the only one) and he thinks that Volvo's front screen is too small.

Volvo probably the best inc the dealerships.

It’s Bumble bee, keep up the good work and videos
Nice Volvo , I always liked them . Did you work for Spiers & Hartwell in Evesham in the mid 1990s ?
Thanks. Yes I worked on nights doing fruit markets, there for many years until 2002. Happy days 😁😁
Hi its guy from KAZAKHSTAN I hope your well .

Nice New Motor How Log Will The Roo Bar Last On This One LoL, ! ! ! Please Stay Safe and Enjoy,
😂😂 Wait for the snow 🤦🏼♀️🙄😂😂

Hi Sherralin. Just wondering if you had a choice, what truck would you choose.
My favourite ever would be a Scania 164 580 the one with the bunk above the windscreen. But of modern lorries it would still be a Scania, S580 / 660, in my opinion you can’t beat the V8 engine.
JCB yellow !

All the best
Thanks for the tip, it works! 😂 Thanks for your support 😁
Nice RIG- Not sure about wheel trims?? Maybe better in black.
🤔 Maybe.
Hi there I am new to your channel. Enjoying your videos so far so good. I would love to do European work, if I was single. No good for me tho being married, as I only see the wife at weekends as it is being a tramper.
Thanks for your support. Glad you enjoy the channel. 😁👍🏻
You won’t be keen on giving that up!
No, hopefully not too soon anyway.
Are you sure about the handbrake releasing automatically ....?
I may have worded that wrong. It releases slowly like the hill start control. In certain situations it won’t, like when you are dropping a trailer, it senses the changes (don’t know how) and you have to release it manually.
I must admit I still release it manually most of the time as it’s how I’ve always driven. 😁
Nice truck learned to drive in a f12
Thanks for watching 😁👍🏻
Someone just told me Steve fellow s sailing close to the wind Sheridan be careful
He’s been at it a long time, I’m sure he knows what he’s doing 😁😁👍🏻
the flying banana
😂😂😂
I bet this cost a Penny or two when new!?
Yes, it’s had the works put in it.
Another tidy vid, you deserve more subscribers,( don’t be doing any towing with that bar.
😂😂😂
The Volvo has more style to it than the Scania and the Daf
It’s definitely an eye catcher 😁
Going from a daf bed to a Volvo.. good luck with that🙈
It is a bit narrower but it’s just a comfy. 😁👍🏻
Very nice rig. I wonder how it would translate here in the states with a left hand drive. The amenities it packs in such a small space is very nice. Thanks for sharing!

I met you in in birmingham 1976, When you were first started driving a van i remember you .about 1976 ,🤣🥲😋,well i thought it was funny . im just Guy .
