    The RED button on the side of the seat is in fact the seat warmer. I have a 2020 VNL 860. Good Luck with the truck, I'm currently at 220k miles and she is a work horse. I love my 860.

      I so badly want to get into long haul trucking but would only do it if I could work for a company that would provide a truck like that. Feel like that’s basically impossible though.

      That "project" was doomed from the very beginning. The only logical reason to buy it would've been if you had another one sitting with a blown engine, so you could've gotten it back on the road by swapping it with a low mileage motor at a good price.

    The extra plastic housing on the mirrors is to stop the windshield washer fluid and rain on the windshield to go onto the mirrors when you use your wipers. The mirror does not get dirty, or blurry (with water) this way.

      Great idea, but I believe 1" black foam pipe tube insulation would probably fit better on the rungs.
      I've only ever sat in a semi once (good Samaritan trucker took me to the next exit when I had a flat in winter...hell of a good guy there), so I could be wrong.

    @TheRustyCracker ; You can manually unlock the king-pin, if its jammed, what you do, is first release it by the switch, that releases the air to the locking clamps; from there, you can do it manually.
    Its done that way, for just in case it does get jammed, as they can some-times do so.
    We have them in most of our trucks in the yard. (but for us, we have like an flip-switch that covers it, like launching a missile (but they cant be activated when moving, as a safety feature)

    I'm one of those guys who is rather "old school" and prefer the CLASSIC XL.
    Love your videos - it gives good information and also pros and cons of what you drive as well as for the new guys who want to become truck drivers.

    Volvo trucks are really nice design, next to international LT625 or Kenworth T680 I think Volvo takes the crown, Cascadia 2018 design, those are nice as well, but if we talk about how much technology you get in a tractor I believe Volvo has the upper hand right now. Note: I have not seen a Tesla Semi yet, but I hope their technology is good as Volvo. My only complaint with this Volvo design are the hood latches and for old school drivers the steering wheel seems a bit pack with buttons. (Convenience is nice but not to overwhelm the driver)

      The volvo have worst off road truck and weakest truck with automatic transmission in 2021 But European volvo street trucks are good in comfort, but the interior is uncomfortable compared to Mercedes and Scania as well. What is more wrong with Volvo Trucks especially the newer model from 2013 until today? There are a lot of problems and terrible fuel and adblue consumption. Also (need a better seat) this is my opinion

    If you look on your fith wheel just in front of the handle pull on the plate itself there is a lug that sticks out over the leaver arm with a hole above and one beneath in Europe this is where the safety dog clip goes in when it's in you can not menuly. Pull the handle to unlock the fith wheel lock I myself to stop people pulling my pin at night or when I leave my truck at a truck stop I use a padlock instead of the dog clip just clip the dog clip onto the padlock shackle

    I drive a 17 730. Very similar sleeper. When the owner picked up the truck it had a basic sleeper mattress. After 1 night on the cushions I put that mattress on top of them and have slept great since. I can't really utilize the table without difficulty but I haven't missed it either. Also if you put an inverter in put on the 2000/3000 cables even if it is a 1500 watt inverter. My positive cable got hot with the smaller cabless on 4 minute Microwave times. Plus the 1500 cables are a foot shorter.

      cuz volvos are shitty trucks. In the us anyways. Cant beat a long nose pete/kenworth. Reguardless it comes with a weak d13 and not the d15. Nicer interior at the cost of a weaker engine.
