it could just mean they have a lot more Volvos than internationals.
I just happen to see more Volvos than Internationals. It's the company's lack of quality maintenance. Volvo shouldn't be liable for having all these out of service trucks at the terminal, as the engine is the same (Cummins/Detroit) as their competitors. In regards to the Volvo vs International, both are inexpensive trucks. Just warning people out there about the Volvos, as i spent a good solid fat chunk of the time in Volvos. In fact, I just mentioned above that I would get back into an International with 300k miles on it, if they would simply fix a couple of issues and offer it back to me. I took a pay cut because I wanted reliable equipment. I went from a small outfit with older trucks, which is expected, to a much larger company that claims to have 0-2 year old trucks. I just happened to get stuck with the 5 year old trucks. Now that i know what they meant, the math is clear. I could care less how many miles the truck had, whether it be 100k or 900k, as long as it worked and didn't break down within the first few hours i drove it. I never expected a new truck, especially considering the veterans should get first pick. Well princess, my complaint had nothing to do with me getting a new truck.
I asked the new company what year most of their trucks were. Its just too bad i found out the hard way.
