The company I drive for has for years bought Volvos. In 2007 and 2008, more than HALF of the trucks were major electrical nightmares. In fact, the problem was so wide spread, for 2009, they bought KW's and PBs. I know another company here in the US that had problems with Volvo the last two years, and has gone to 100% PB.

Before this one, I drove a 2004 Volvo, and it had zero problems the whole 347,000 miles!

Looks like he's been having difficulty finding his load. Fourth location so far . . .

"And I can see them shining
Through the Willows and the Pines,
The lights of Cincinatti
Oh, so many miles behind,
I could build myself a new life
And make it on my own,
But the lights of Cincinnati
Will keep calling me back home."

I'm not certain that Steve will share that thought . . .

Did ya think I was lost? LOL

Some places, I go to the address given me which is usually the main shipper.

Sometimes they send me to one drop lot to get/drop a trailer.

Other times, I may have several drop yards to check.

Then there are times that the actual product I am picking up is stored in another location. LOL

Just all depends on how big the shipper is, how many points of distribution they have, etc. LOL


All times are GMT +1. The time now is 16:29.
