New soon to be swift trainee!

Volvos ride super smooth. They can be quirky at times. Does Swift order them with the Volvo D13 or Cummins ISX? Most of ours are D13s with all the new trucks having the I shift. My company is 99% Volvo 780 sleepers with a pretty high end package. (The rest are a mix of Freightliner Columbias that were our fleet trucks prior to 2008, 3 Peterbilts and one old International Transtar on the local fleet.) They ordered the upgrade radio system has a built in bluetooth speakerphone and is XM capable. Love that XM lol.

 

All the used ones from Swift hitting the used market had ISX engines. Wondering if they are adding Volvo engines to the mix. Knight Volvos were equipped with ISX power plants too though they seem to be ordering more 670 sleepers with D13s. Quickest way to tell without opening the hood is that little badge between the cab door and hood that says D13 Volvo Power. Volvo likes to boast when you order your Volvo truck with a Volvo engine, lol.

 

I start solo today doing port and short hauls. I will be driving a PB CNG, with a day cab. I drove around the port area all day Saturday to get more familiar with it, even though I did a week of training. I might start my own drayage thread since I have not seen many. Oh and I will be working nights.

 

When I drove for them the 670 I had with the I-shift came with the Volvo engine and the 10 speed before that one had a cummins.

 

Good luck!
