How new? The Volvo IShift is the greatest Ning since sliced bread

Depending on what you are doing....but if it's pulling a van then go with the Volvo. If its platform work, then go with a Mack (both have same transmissions)

I been doing alot of research and everyone is saying volvos parts are expensive and service is hard to find

At my last company we were using Mack's A/T The trucks were running just about 24 hrs a day. Most trucks were 2-3 years old and had very little problems. Although it was in Florida so I can attest for hills or grades
