I thought they were Chinese brand now by geely

@@Yondaily yeah true they are Chinese

@@Yondaily geely bought the passenger car brand . Trucks and heavy equipment are separate companies all together

They would have been foolish if they had not invested in the USA, as the companies that manufacture trucks in the USA have not significantly improved their products in the last 50 years. It's like comparing poop to chocolate ice cream. Volvo is by far much better at everything. It's embarrassing that people still buy the crap that the USA offers its customers.

@@sirstormystefan, if that's the case, what if they get trucks in Sweden like Volvo? Well, the traditional European cabover that is. Sweden have more than one truck brand. Another is Scania.

You’re crazy bro. Mack’s are creamy smooth and KW’s feel like a steel pogo stick

@@Dingbobber creamy smooth? Buddy, have you actually driven a Mack? Have you driven a mack and then driven a vnl 860 or T680? Mack is made for young boys with strong backs. Volvo is for people who don't like being thrown around in their seat while driving. If these trucks were homes, Peterbilt would be like a fancy mansion worthy of a prince, Volvo would be like a futuristic apartment worthy to house Elon Musk, and Mack would be a military base.

KW is best .peterbilt is like log wagon and the rest are like a Volkswagen.

hahah true ;)

Could get a sleeper cab starting at 300k, i think you dont need a cdl if you get a decal saying "not for hire" just an air brake endorsement, not sure though. With 400sqft condos going for over a mil and all the "van life" trend it might be worth it.. 😂

@@maxnovakovics2568 airbrakes and just don't hook up the trailer lol

Funny you say that I always considered paccar the GM of the semi truck world

Exactly 😅

Thanks for sharing 🚚👍

And safety

It’s a different set up !

@@abrahampshat8095 Macs are part of the Volvo group, Trucks come with engines made by Volvo and also engines made by Cummins.

Tough is not always a good thing. A truck that is too tough is usually too rough to ride compared to softer trucks.

@@angrysocialjusticewarrior It's not the ride that matters most, it's how the engine performs in hot and cold regions

@@MySpace662 I doubt SJW works. Just waiting for another handout.

Freightliner Cascadia is more safer than Kenworth, because it has Detroit assurance 5.0

I drive a Volvo FH700 , and it beats others in every respect , the only truck that is its equal is the Scania S580

Only downside with volvo/mack is that injectors cups will fail after 500k mi and wiring is wack. Never hear complaints otherwise.

I’m a tech and can confirm the wacky wiring. Apart from that Volvo/Mack don’t have many major problems and seeing trucks with over 2 million KM’s is VERY common. Also they design a lot of their systems with serviceability in mind to make life easy for us. Volvos are the easiest trucks to work on hands down.

@@the902giant I'm curious how long does it take to get the parts for Volvo's engines?

@@M4CZ1LL4 the dealership I work at keeps a fair bit on hand but in general you’re looking at a 2-4 day wait for parts no matter what it is.

MOOD that's me last month 😂

Gotta Love a Steam gaming Account

Wow impressive!, isn't it expensive to keep such a relatively old fleet running? and thanks for sharing

@@TruckTropia Not really that expensive. The cost of buying a new truck every 5 years over 35 years, that 7 truck replacements. Or Conservative cost @ $120,000 per truck. That's $840,000. I might have 350K to 400K in each truck.

gotta say thats impressive and cool, as the tire guy who has to retorq 100 bud nuts and studs in a 10mount i hate this :P

And 5.0 mpg Believe me He scratches his head every time he gets up to fuel station 😀

@@ZeeZee89 Nope, not at all

:)

You mean volvo

I’ve noticed he always skips the cascadia for some reason

@@junior8403 because it beats the crap out of all the junks this video is about..🤣🤣🤣

They are crap in the states maybe we got the cheap ones

Bro, it's about what you are left with in your pocket at the end of the day and not out pulling someone up a hill..good luck with your 6mpg instead of the 9 mpg.

@@soul_reaper9935 100 % agree. I would choose Volvo among all indicated here. But I have to say Pete 379 and Kw 900 really nice beautiful trucks. With lower maintenance cost and better mpg I would go with 379.

@@kr9181 379 are way cheaper to maintain since they're no DEF or automated trans BS

379 all the way

And you’ll pay double in fuel 😂

thanks for sharing :)

If I don’t mistake it’s double clutch.

The problem with new modern trucks nowadays are faulty sensors... each time they fail will give you big downtime. That's why some truckers stay away with new tech installed on new trucks.

Doesn't get any better than the I-Shift

I've yet to meet a driver here in Ireland that doesn't think IShift is by far the best auto trans on the market.

it comes down to the job here in the UK more than 2 nights out is somewhat rare I've only known a handful of drivers doing UK work who will be out more than 2 nights and there usually doing something out of the ordinary for example one dude I knew his route was picking up in the midlands and doing all the London deliveries with how much of a mess that could be he would drive a rigid flatbed truck with a secondary tow trailer hed get loaded up to maximum capacity head down into London drop the tow trailer at a service station and would go into London do the deliveries re-supply off the trailer and head back in hed maximise the time spent down in London delivering to save on the fuel costs of running back up and down also with how bad london traffic can be anouther driver could make 3 or 4 deliveries to other places in the time it took for him to get to and from 1 london job sometimes so time saved not having to truck back and fourth was worth it sometimes they'd even send trucks to meet him at the services to resupply him but hed be gone at most 7 days if he came back during the week hed prefer loading and heading back over getting a night at home because its be less driving the next morning anything longer than 7 days though would be rough especially considering those 7 days are only just barable because we have some semi decent truck stops that have a few of the creature comforts so you can get out the cab for a few hours without that wed probably go nuts

@@Sarge92 As a retired UK trucker living In Wales I used to be out five or six days a week every week for years, and I loved It. Shore do miss It, even driving on the worlds biggest car park the M25.

😅

Mack is my middle name lol love this truck

@@KhaosEntertainment haha :)

So basically, before Kenworth and Peterbilt came into being too and, considering Mack started producing trucks only two years before Volvo, probably before any of these companys did.

@@katrinapaton5283 huh

true :)

That's because the US hasn't invented anything since the 50s when it comes to trucks. The US is at least 30 years behind Europe. Comparing Volvo to Peterbilt is like comparing a laptop to a typewriter...

They just aren't observant. The v70 does it to a higher degree but almost every Cars radio is slightly towards the driver. If u sit in the driver seat then sit in the front passenger on almost any car u will be able to tell.

Same thing. Volvo owns Mack trucks. Have nice day Dude.

Volvo Gang Baby! 💪🏾

I played with a valva😂,,almost like a Volvo 😂 minus the for play😂😂😂

Volvo OWNS Mack. Paccor trucks are Volvo Wanna Bes’.

@@henryblanton6992 who tf wanna be like volvo?

They use the same struture to be based-on but both Volvo's I-Shift and MACK's M-Drive are geared and programed different to set them appart from each other.

A Freightliner Cascadia and Western Star 57X truck review video, is in the making :)

I guess some people don't understand sarcasm. For those who don't get it. That's Daimler vs Daimler.

Right on. This video is crap it's only a sales pitch. It's not comparing anything. On top of that the vehicles are from the same stable and is the same shit just different smell. The euro technology is in and is being incorporated more and more in America, even with your American trucks. It's going to start happening here in Australia. Kenworths here are getting the peterbilt dash technology from the 610 series to the new k220. A lot of blokes over here don't like the new technology. Melbourne to Brisbane and a very well known company over here had a Volvo cab over those 700 hp things hit by lightning somewhere in New South Wales and fried the system. Wouldn't run had to get it fix. Same with the new ken 610 same thing happened to that exactly the same company.

@@roneelchandra620 You're right. I think the narrator is simply reading the sales material for each truck.

He's just showing you the brands that are fighting for 3rd place. All 4 of those company's don't sell what freightliner sells in a year combined. Crazy.

Thats dealer markups...

Peterbilt 389 or kenworth w900. Both 18 speed.

Fuel-wise and Mechanical Parts Cascadia. Smooth Drive, the better maneuver and view - is Volvo. Depending on engine power all of them can do good on Mountain

@@MrOrientalism No they can't do good on mountain. Automatic and DEF ruins everything

@@jacob5014 they have manuals by good I meant he won't get stuck ) I should have said they ok

Don’t worry about all that. You’ll drive whatever your employer has. That said, take the opportunity to drive as many truck brands as you can to find out what you like if you intend on becoming an owner operator some day. Everyone likes different things. I’ve been both a company driver and an O/O and have driven many brands. If someone else is paying the bills, I prefer driving the Kenworth trucks. If I’m paying the bills, I stick to Freightliner. Your experience may be totally different.

Of the trucks youve driven, what was your favorite (& why?)?

@@somethingepic777 _It’s hard to say, in terms of comfort ability, the KW takes the cake, I love the white cab of the freightliner 2018, but in terms of performance, my favorite was the KW because of the Cummins X 15 engine inside of it, what I did not like about the KW and the Peterbilt is that the prices for repairs are higher than a Mac and freightliner, mechanics hate Volvo._ _Mechanics normally put you on the back burner before repairing your truck, but I hate the Mac their engines like power even with a high gear ratio_

There is no actual Mack Engine it is still basically a Volvo.

As a museum object then I guess? The shit they are trying to sell today belongs in the first "Back to the Future", i.e. the 50s. It's embarrassing how far behind the US is when compared to Volvo (or Scania for that matter).

@@sirstormystefan u better check that again I disagree.

They absolutely are, my friend has one...

I appreciate that, thanks for the support

True :)

Volvo Gang Baby! 💪🏾 😎

Comparing Volvo to Kenworth is like comparing a laptop to a typewriter...

I would never be able to answer that

That’s a vague statement

@@hendic Do volvo trucks not ride smoothly like Cadillacs?
