Here's a clip that should make the old timers remember some of their first rides.

They used to offer a couple of wild graphics right from the factory.

What I see there in most all them pix iz .15 ah gallon for #2 and .04 more for #1 in the cold monthz. And knowin' how the skirt every chicken house in the 48 statez. And stickin' your arm out the window and wavin' you log book at the driver comin' atcha to warn him that he better stop and scratch ah few linez before he getz too much farther down the road 'cuz they'z waitin' on him up ahead.
 
Me So driver how did you end up in the ditch on a great day like this?

Other driver. Was turning and the fifth wheel just locked up, the trailer just took the whole thing

Just the other day I had to tell my boss that I can no longer drive these POS day cab Volvo's, especially the 2014's. My giantness (;) ) and the ergonomics of the seats and lack of room in the cab is killing my knees, hips, lower back, neck and shoulders....I'm seriously in pain after just a day spent in the cab running around town. :(

Thankfully we have a 2013 Freight-liner day cab, with a DD15 and....my oh so favorite "Allison 6 speed". But at least it has more cab room, and the seat is decent enough that I can survive a day in the seat.

I have pointed out that for 9 years I was driving sleeper trucks for these guys with no issues, but within 2 years of switching to day cabs and I can barely make it through a day.

Alright rant off....:eusa_eh:
 
1/4 pounder is a company percentage driver that is making 25% of what the truck makes and pounds the hell out of the truck to go go go no matter what.

Funny. I had to do the same thing. After a week in my new Volvo day cab, I developed severe shoulder and back pain that even percs couldn’t help. I demanded my old International back and my Volvo went to a driver that after 3 days refused to drive it. It finally ended up with a driver who weighed 98 lbs soaking wet.

WhoTF at Volvo thought it was acceptable to have the shifter behind the right shoulder???
