    Don't expect good fuel mileage from any truck pulling that kind of weight

    Insane now. Esp with are Canadian rates. Talking with some usa guys it's unbelievable the rate discrepancy. They are running for 3x what we are upnin Canada. It's no wonder there truck marketa has gone thru the roof.

    I have to wonder what the Canadian trucker association is doing for the drivers. No way should there be anywere near such a gap in rates
     
    BigHossVolvo Thanks this.

    For drivers? Absolutely nothing. The name is simply a disguise seeming to represent the entire industry when they really represent the larger companies.

    Yea dude, if I wasn't working for this outfit, I would already be bankrupt with how bad the Canada only/LCV rates are at most places. I've pretty much decided to run my Volvo forever, got in contact with some good independent Volvo specialist shops, and told Calmont/Beaver to suck it.
     
    MSQUARED Thanks this.

    I’d get a truck from the 80s with not one single computer on it and just rebuild it

    would be cheaper and more reliable than any new truck .

    Awesome man! love the colour! Also I love the def tank behind the fuel tank, it will always be the right spot at the pump.

    A buddy of mine, is actually doing just that with a 1991 Freightliner Cab Over, CAT3406B, its literally gonna take 50-60K to do a full frame off restoration with a out of frame engine build. Should be pretty sweet with a modern rebuild on the Engine/Trans/Clutch/Axles and modern tires, I'm curious to see the MPG numbers.
