If your lucky you'll get an 2010 or older Volvo with the Cummins.
450/475 HP if they're 9-speed
435/460 HP if they're 10-speed

IH's 2009 to 2011 Cummins 455/480 HP 10-speed only

Volvo's 2011 and newer VED13 425/450 HP 10-speed only

Hope this info helps.

 

I think all Knight Volvos are the 670 sleepers. Correct? The 780 sleepers like mine had space for a fridge. I don't know if the 670's had enough space for one.

Volvo D13's aren't a bad engine. They're pretty efficient. They sip fuel at idle because they are designed to idle at 700 rpm in order to run the "clean idle" cycle. Good for .6-.8 gallons per hour.

 

I preferred the Volvo's over the IH's due the tighter steering radius and better ride but the IH's have more interior room.

 

Very basic of trucks, no amenities like fridge or power inverters over what you can get out of a 12volt power outlet. Trucks are set to idle when it's hot or below freezing. I never had a real problem with pay but I was on daily pay. Miles were based on me and what I was willing to do. Turn down loads and you will sit. Running out of the Phoenix area you will spend a lot of time in SoCal and playing the I-5 shuffle.

Say hello to Terry and Steve in the training dept. Good luck.

 

i forget idle percentages. sory i cant help there
