Old timers hate on Volvos for being dull fleet trucks with no soul, which I partially agree with. But, if there’s one thing Volvo unquestionably hits out of the park, it’s the sleeper. Incredible use of space!
Thanks for watching, yeah Volvo has not changed the sleeper since I can remember... but I guess why mess with perfection in some ways.. but it just needs some beautification.. thank you for your comments and thanks for watching
Nice truck and cool setup. The bed above is as good solution for more living space Volvos solidity and comfort is unquestionable. For sure modern trucks has a very tiny soul and personality. But the VNL is total 🔝 on comfort.
Yeah, love my Garmin. It's nice to be able to tell them what to do for a change😂😂😂 have added a few things to the cab and some closet renovations, did videos as well. Thanks for watching
Hey man. Do you ever find it stuffy or hot sleeping on the top bunk? I'm looking at either the 860 or a Cascadia with the driver lounge/murphy bed set up. I appreciate your videos and enjoy the content. Take care and stay safe.
Sorry so late in responding, just learned how to check replies from older videos but no.... I have a fan up there. I saw a video of another team cpl that made a Murphy bed in there 860. Pretty cool. I don't know why Volvo doesn't do that. Check out my latest video, "a day in the life of a trucker" and I show how I make my bottom bed extremely comfortable and still able to use table with a nice bed roll.
@Nutt-N-But Thank you for the info! I think I like the layout and comfort of the Volvo over the Freightliner. It suits my needs and wants a little better. I've had both over the years. Each have their advantages and disadvantages. I enjoy your videos. I'm now thinking of buying a drone because of them. I just have to justify buying a drone to my wife. That might be an "ask for forgiveness later" situation. Stay safe out there, and I look forward to your videos.
@@claypalmer9313 Yeah, it wasn't the cheapest drone. However, it sure is a lot of fun. And I don't think I would buy anything less due to all the safety features this has. Thanks for watching, I'll try to keep them interesting. If you have any ideas, let me know. Drive safe
Both of you have absolutely fantastic setups. I was already leaning toward the Volvo because I don’t think I would like the angled bench in the Cascadia, but your videos have made up my mind! You both did awesome with your space! I love it.
@@Thunderstrucktrans believe me I know I drive one this company has nothing but Volvo since 2000. And I've been here for 13 years. We went automatic about 5 years ago. This the first one though that I just got last year with the push button trans. Took some getting used to I'm an old owner operator big long Hood big ride in front of me but I don't miss the kidney crunching and crawling through the back to get to the bunk.
Sorry for late response, thanks for watching .. unfortunately those aren't available any more but any 6ft smart USB strip will work on Amazon. 6ft is exactly the width for over driver head as well as both upper and lower bunks.
I've got some Fantastic new light straps that'll blow you away. Ther the "govee rbgic" 6ft straps from Amazon. You can see vids on you tube and I'll be doing a review next week. Hope you watch. There only $15.00 each roughly and awsome, you can see them in my ne video top 10 items for new truckers that just posted
Well, thanks for asking. I have been driving for over 40 years. I don't really like it that much anymore as I'm missing out on my family. However, I love the job, and I'm also 59 years old now and ready for a change. But it has always given my family and me everything we've needed and has given me a pretty good life.
Any company worth anything should provide exclusive restrooms for truck drivers only. It is inhumane and is uncivilized to not provide truckers with a place to relieve themselves. I would love for there to be Federal Laws that make restrooms for truckers at warehouses and such--be mandatory due to public health concerns. States have health code laws for restaurants to always have to provide restrooms to their customers; therefore, legislation of this type is common and should be extended to truck drivers too. End this callous, cruel, mean, and disrespectful bullshit! All human beings have bodily functions and we are not India where it became such a nasty public health concern that their government had to start placing billboards everywhere with public health safety announcements that demanded that citizens stop urinating and defecating in public on sidewalks and behind bushes everywhere. Stop this insanity! Provide toilets to truckers!
If you haven't heard the government has actually within the last month or two made it mandatory for companies to provide restrooms for the truck drivers so that has happened.

How do you like trucking
Well, thanks for asking. I have been driving for over 40 years. I don't really like it that much anymore as I'm missing out on my family. However, I love the job, and I'm also 59 years old now and ready for a change. But it has always given my family and me everything we've needed and has given me a pretty good life.
@@Thunderstrucktrans thank you for your help
YEAHHHHHH JAXSONS DAD IS A WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

@@Thunderstrucktrans It's about damn time! Should have never been required to have been demanded in the first place.
