    I live near Conway. When I was in truck driving school, I worked for Blue Hill in Marche (it's near maumelle) They slung a concrete truck that had been badly wrecked all the way to Baltimore. No low boy or nothing. If your money is right I'm sure they will tow it for you. I can give you the number or even call the owner myself and find out if you want. Hit me up

    .... you must be the driver with the I-shift nightmare problem I meet last week at Volvo in Little Rock,AR ?! I'm Celadon OO ,remember we talked waiting at shop; Oh man, are you going to tow yhe truck in Canada? What if Volvo shops here are going to give you same answer, "can't get fixed buy a new one"? would be a waste of $$ for towing.

    Even if you get someone to tow it, it's gonna cost a fortune.

    I would love to hear the story about how Volvo has no fix for their Ishift.

    If that is the case, you could scrap it for a reman Eaton manual. Have an independent shop do the swap and tell Volvo dealership to kiss off.

    Well Volvo doesn't provide the dealership with tools and training to work on I-shift, and you can't put a manual on this model cause nobody can program it.the regeneration is not going to work afterwards. This is what you get when the manufacturer does not care about there customers.

    Now I understand what your trying to do, you have my sympathies. Just my 2 cents but if it was me I'd be going higher up the "Volvo" food chain and telling everyone in every public forum that I could find what lousy crap support I was getting from Volvo, and the fact that they have caused undue stress and loss of income/livelihood. Man you are in a tough spot and I'm sorry I don't have any ideas to offer you for a solution. (Buddy of mine was trying to talk me into trying a Volvo, I'll remember your plight)
