Climate Express

Yeah I will take a picture of it after I get the truck and trailer washed. But man I'm telling you you ever get a chance to stop at a Mac dealership and go through a tour of the inside of one of these trucks holy crap you'd flip. I mean everything is put up behind closed doors it's just really neat. You know all the cabinets have doors, all the overhead storage compartments have doors, it's got a storage compartment across the bunk wall in the back and it's got under bunk storage. It makes for a real clean looking truck on the inside. It's got a factory installed power inverter and bunk heater. It has Shore power like the Volvos do. And the power inverter is directly tied into the shore power with a control panel on the bunk wall for the power inverter to turn it on and off.

 

Yeah we didn't smoke in that truck. I believe both of us had quit smoking by the time we were in that truck.

 

They only called me one time after hours to cover a load in the 6 yrs that I was there.

 

The Hood slopes off so much, that while driving you can barely notice it. It's almost like looking out the windshield an seeing nothing but air. Can just see the top of the bulldog' s head.

 

How are the sound systems in these Volvos Climate uses? Is it decent? Does it suck?
Magnum kinda ruined me with their 579 10" sub option is why I ask. That, and I can't drive without tunes/e-books/podcasts.

 

I always plugged a satellite radio receiver head into the front auxiliary port. I had a splitter that I used to split to my phone for listening to any internet stuff. The last new truck I had came without a cd player. I know for some people that's not a big deal but I still own a lotta compact discs that I like to play. As far as sound quality, well they are only factory volvo speakers and they are only installed in the front. The ones at climate always came with no bunk speakers.

 

I can't say I blame him after dispatching 40 drivers all week. Surprising they didn't have a Hershey load or Coke load for the weekend. At least one of the little 130 mile ones to Fulton just to kill some time for a few extra dollars

The sound system is acceptable. I'm the obnoxiously loud music 24/7 type and I'm pretty happy with it. Does well with rock, country, and podcasts. Rap/Hip Hop is decent. My truck came with speakers in the bunk, but no idea how to turn em on/off.

Standard DEA500 radio where you have to hit the source button three times to get BT every time you start the truck lol
