  1. Thanks guys for all your input!, Yeah I miss my MH regret the sale!and makes me sick in my stomick. That truck always run no matter what. The Volvo's I do 6.2 mpg I always run heavy 78 to 80k with frozen loads. Mostly the North east and Midwest Minnesota. The only thing I'm thinking off is that I may buy new Volvo's 780 with D13 475hp and I shift. I plan to get the extended warranty from Volvo up,to 500 k miles but kick them to the curb around 475k miles. The reason I keep,looking at Volvo is the purchase price if order 7 new tractors. I would like to try Mack but don't get a good purchase price.. Yes I also tough about a glider KW but I was told it's hard to finance since manufacturer finance new trucks at favorble rate. I try to stay ahead of the curb but all this crab makes it impossible.

    Regarding freightliner I know that the dd15 is a good engine but hear a lot of issues with the rest of the quality. One thing for sure no internationals!! LOL

  2. Hello guys,

    Just wanted some feet back from you guys. I'm running seven 2012 Volvo 670 with D13 and 10'speeds. We run reefers all over the U.S. . Now I have to say that I have not much luck with Volvo engines. I bought the units last December from a Volvo dealer with 300k miles. Following issues egg coolers leaking, oil cooler going bad and countless DEF issues nock sensor dozer valves, enjectors and enjectors cups (Volvo knew this but never called a recall on it) now I know that used trucks is like hit and miss but all of them having issues? Any way going to the dealer is a nightmare. Go for repair service tell you can't touch it till next week? Wow. How do we make money!

    So I'm looking at some new Peterbilts or new freight liner cascadia. I love to buy all Mack but go back to the Volvo bullish...t. No one can fix it come back next week. I just like to have fresh opinions from you guys.post-11018-0-35426200-1437857493_thumb.j

  3. I'm no economics major, but I bet the pricing for shipping will stay up for a while at least til someone starts cutting prices to get more work. Then the bidding war will start.

    I don't think the rates will drop, yes there is more freight and you can buy more trucks but there aren't drivers to do this. So because of this the prices of freight most likely will stay or go up because retail will pick up because lower gas prices suppliers ship more but I have seen it that shippers and brokers fighting for trucks to move there freight.
