    You guys need "I ❤ Volvos" shirts for your fan club.

    Big mirrors, one piece front glass, what's not to love? I like all the features, but I'll do everything I can to avoid driving one of our Volvos. Don't know why.

    The truck I really miss is the Mack CH613 I started out in. Rough and ugly, but tough as nails.

    How many Volvos does OD even have I mean I know you guys have some but they seem to be fairly sparse.GFS our fleet is almost 100% Volvo at this point.

    Not a lot. I don't know the exact breakdown but it's probably 85% or more FL. We brought in more KW's than Volvos when the 2018's came in. I'd like to try out one of those, but they're gold plated or something. I don't even have a key.

    I miss our L-model Fords. I like how solid and sturdy they felt.

    I saw one of your KWs a couple months ago. Cleveland OD terminal still has a lot of old Freightliner Columbia day cabs.

    Those are only legal on private roadways. Usually it is mines and maybe some livestock lanes that use these types of configurations.
