A Mercedes Truck is just a more expensive, costlier to maintain, slightly less reliable Volvo. Get the Swede.

He's sitting there bitching about these makes of truck, and meanwhile, a Volvo semi just drove by past him, and the driver's eating Ferrero.

seemingly overnight all our tanker deliveries at work are now brought by volvos.

I've heard mixed reviews, but some houses say they stay together remarkably well for long hauls. Drivers can run better too.

Also, higher initial investment, but much cheaper operation cost

(Seriously, look up the VN780. I've seen less well equipped Motels.)

(Also, the Volvo's D13 outperforms this engine in torque and efficiency. :D )

As an ex-tech, I <3 Volvo trucks.

From what I recall, drivers love em too. Like driving an upscale inn.

Owners fucking hate em, expensive to buy, and break down way too often. My family always ran Petes till they bought 4 Volvos. Regretfully.

Agreed. Anytime I can incorporate the phrase 'dick beaters' into a conversation I do. 'Dick Skinners' is a viable alternative as well.

Yea um the city of detroit from the best of my knowledge doesnt make engines so im wondering what company actually made this?

10 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 10

Detroit Diesel is the manufacturer. It's actually owned by Daimler trucks aka Freightliner. Source, I do IT support for both of them.

Buy Volvo or Scania and forget all your problems. For 200k $ you can buy the newest Volvo, you'd be inlove with it !

10 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Daimler owns Freightliner. There's really not many "domestic" or "import" auto manufacturers any more

10 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

It's not that, it's that the imported trucks don't meet US bridge laws and don't maximize on payload per length.

$200k is for the tractor/trailer. That day cab is only about $120k new. Also, news flash - the mercedes uses the same motor!

10 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

We would have to spend almost 350k for those rigs. I'd much rather spend 200k on a truck that MIGHT break 1mil+ miles in then that will.

10 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

hmm .. Keepcalmpandfapfapfapfap says 200k .. and some Google is closer to that than 350k (<- old number?)

Daimler AG owns Freightliner, Mercedes, Mitsubishi-Fuso, Western Star and the now defunct Sterling trucks. So, good chunk of the industry.
