I think some of the younger guys like to slam into it ... make everybody turn around to see the bad ass feeder driver making a bunch of noise.... and getting whiplash...lol

If you have never driven one you wouldn't understand. They are unsafe. It's like driving your crazy ex wife.

I’ve driven all of them except the new Freightliner they are testing in some areas ....and I’ve seen the younger guys try slamming the kingpin with whatever tractor...

 

[Coldworld]

You actually used the clutch?

Probably about 1/2 the time.....lol

How are the CNG and LNG tractors compared to the diesels? Is there less power or do the transmissions feel any different. We don't have and because we don't have room in the yard to put the pumps.

The CNG kenworthless sucks much ass. No power, transmission is slow as fug, the 277’s have lousy range and they always have some kinda weird electrical problem going on with them

How the hell can you even tell???

The top of the dashboard has a place for a CB radio in the freight Volvo’s

Our center borrowed a few of them for peak a few years back. They’re nice tractors

Those things pulled better than our old International tractors, I wonder why ground hasn't purchased any of them?

First time I drove one it took me 5 minutes to figure out the hood release.

We had some rental Volvo’s one year and those seats were very comfortable....very nice rigs

I never figured that out and took another tractor instead. How do you pop the hood on a Volvo?

Release is under the steering wheel.

It's like a regular car, the release handle is at the bottom of the steering wheel column.

Wondering if any of you guys have actually been given this form when ordering uniforms or they just have you hand your supervisor what you want on the back of a trip ticket and wait for them to order the wrong size stuff.

We use that form.

We use that form.

we do too. The trick is to figure out what UPS size you are because they apparently use a different system then the rest of the clothing industry.

The sizes seem to change every time you order. I'll order my 32" waist, fits fine, next time it's too loose.
