Reminds me of my dad shopping furnitures

[@cesarpalmos8235]

Both beautiful trucks! Im a fleet mechanic and our company, has about 90% frieghtliners, mainly for reliability and affordability. We have roughly 1 thousand frieghtliners with dd15 505hp and the detroit trans and diffs. We only had 1 truck needing a new transmission. As far as reliability, drivetrain wise, it's very reliable. Around 5% had A few issues with coolant leaks on the air compressor lines, but they came out with new steel lines to settle it once and for all. Around 10% ..the oil pan gaskets leaks, most of the time it was fixed simply by tightening the bolts, only a couple needed the gaskets replaced at 500k+. Around 30% needed the injector connector tube seals replaced...easy fixes. Around 75% needed the Nox sensors replaced at 400k. The only bad thing, for some reason, around 95% of the trucks have loosening leaf spring hanger bolts. We simply tighten them every BPM. But we never found the issues until we noticed the bolts were half way out at around 100k. Major safety concern if not checked. We only ever had 2 engines replaced on the entire fleet at around 30ok because the compressor coolant lines would leak and the drivers would continue driving them with no coolant. However, even when overheating for hundreds of miles or even a couple thousand miles, those Detroit's always got them back home.

[@TruGame.]

Was this on 2019 trucks or older models?

[@Ricchmic]

What year models are these and are they advisable for owner operator start up?

[@peachesjohnson9387]

Thanks for the info

[@cesarpalmos8235]

@@TruGame. Yes, 2019 and older models. Almost all issues were resolved in the later models.

[@cesarpalmos8235]

@@Ricchmic The best years in my opinion was 2020-2022. I would high recommend the Cascadia's. They are easy to work on, easy to diagnose and get parts since Daimler makes the whole truck (when equipped with Detroit powertrains). They are also fairly efficient, I generally see anywhere from 7-9 mpg for a day cab and 8-13 for a sleeper. Of course our trucks are fleet trucks so the drivers don't care about them. A driver with pride in his job will probably see good efficiency and longevity.

[@marcoslopez8890]

I like your videos because you're not like those "old school" truckers that think they're better than everyone else just because they drive an old manual classic truck. And actually you point out the pros and cons of an automatic truck. Good work.

You are going to need that LOL

[@albertuu]

Why

[@christianb9565]

JB VA because the Volvo parts are typically 2x the cost

[@SeekGod1st]

Volvo are very nice but the cost for their parts is just crazy AND there's not many Volvo repair shops as Freightliner's.

[@kingcrusher5524]

Totally Agree, hands down!!!

[@siachen6680]

If you go OTR, then Freightliner would be a better option because of their wider network of repair shops across the country.

[@nashvilletennessee3194]

I've been in four cascadia's and now I just got into a Volvo vnl 760 which I have now driven for two weeks! As far as drivability on the highway the Volvo blows the cascadia away. I am willing to give up a few inches in sleeper cab room for the wonderful driveability. also the turn radius is way better on the Volvo so I can put it in docks much easier. the one thing I hate about the Cascadia's was that the front mirrors are too low and you cannot see them if you like to sit low in your seat. Don't have that problem with the Volvo. I feel that I have been upgraded to first class after getting in the new Volvo truck especially with its therapedic mattress. But most importantly I feel more in control of all of my loads. It just feels more stable and I love the jake brake response. I will say, however, that the climate control system in the Freightliner is better than Volvo and more responsive to temperature settings; and I miss my cabinet doors on the Freightliner! Things keep falling out of these cubbies on the Volvo!

[@404TRUCKERTV]

If you're buying it, i say freightliner, dd15s got a lot of support on the road, mechanics know the truck and parts are everywhere.

[@mahdiyusuf3431]

Thank you I’m getting Volvo 2020

[@shoncunningham4749]

Cascadia, if your an owner operator you also need to consider the purchase price and fuel mileage. If you don't dog it and do regular maintenance the Cascadia will be more profitable.

[@Ricchmic]

Do you consider Cascadia the best for first o/o

[@rojiii69420]

Most underrated channel out there. Love the content Rusty👍👍

[@CraftyCleetus]

Had a 19 Volvo and it handled better than any other truck I've had, got a new 20 cascadia now and the interior is roomier cause there's no wrap around front cabinets , even though the freight has better automaton capabilities I wish I kept my VNL the steering and shifting are the best in the market

[@yazeed3881]

The only one and single advantage of the Volvo that it’s comfortable, it’s like driving a big SUV . But in everything else the freightliner is the best bang for your buck .

Honestly the only thing I really like about the Volvo is the reliability and front fascia.

[@DonatelloBlssd]

Great Review

[@oleg182002]

Love my 2016 780 big sleeper volvo 455hp ecotorque, always heavy on the steers with that Colorado beer but even with 45.5k always pulls 35mph up a hill and gives me true 7.2 miles per gallon. Had this truck since new with 15 miles , now at 430k it starts to say bad def quality every 1000 miles, pretty sure it’s the outlet nox sensor giving issues, but aside from that 430k trouble free miles only shell rotella oil changes every 18 k miles.

[@hudsondonnell444]

It most likely is the outlet NOx sensor. If you have a Freightliner like mine you will need OEM NOx sensors or you will be back in to get them replaced within three to six months. I don't know how the D13 or D16 engines handle aftermarket sensors, but Detroit engines must use the OEM.

Nice video Man, keep it going

[@fozziedabear4782]

Definitely like the video. Also you should have mentioned that Volvo computer software at the mechanic shops are more readily available then Freightliner. So it can be fixed faster and easier as opposed to Freightliner who don't release that expensive software unless the mechanic shop has purchased it.. Definitely go with the white color. Keeps you cooler during the day and color goes with everything. I'm about to purchase a truck but this video has been a game changer for me, I'm 90% for Volvo now. Thanks

Thank You for sharing the information! I hawe actualy wondered about that transmission thing for a long time, i hawe no personal experience from the Cascadia, but i think it is a good reference to compare with. Long nooses are pretty rare outside constrtuction purpose and special purpose built trucks in Sweden, i think it has to do with the lenght regulations here are different, the short nooses are a bit higher but shorter built, i think the chassi are also a bit shorter on them, at least on the European wersions, it's actualy supprisingly easy to flip up the cab on them, but most important things are acessible from above or the side panels as on the longnooses.

I defiantly like the freightliner. It’s all a matter of opinion right?

[@Dptl]

@The ChrisWard - freightliner will do

[@EZNowTrucker]

The 2016 Cascadia I operated had close to 700000 km and the DT12 in that would kick out at 100kmh and I'd have to slow down til it kicked in in 5th. Very dangerous on congested highways or descending a steep grade. Freightliner couldn't find the problem. Haven't had lots of seat time with the Volvo I shift. Everyone seems to have great things to say about the I shift. Last Volvo I operated was a 2004 with a d12 and a 13 speed Eaton manual. Truck had 1.6 mill and the engine wasn't overhauled. Great truck. Not pretty or fuel efficient by today's standards but reliable.

Great Review .. Good VLOG

[@tuvshinkhantaishir3910]

I drove both of them too. Freightliner Cascadia Cascadia's sleeper better than Volvo. It has bigger bed and fridge. Cascadia seat is not comfortable. The biggest issue with Cascadia is the transmission. It doesnt shift well. You got to manually shift in the mountains. It doesnt know there is 3rd and 11th gear. It always jumps from 10 to 12. Also its way louder than Volvo. Especially when you use your engine break you will hear the engine. Mirror is smaller and smaller fuel tank. Volvo The seat is very comfortable. It has smaller sleeper but for single driver its okay. Driver view is much better than Cascadia. Wabesto has ticking noise which is so annoying. It has too many sensors so you will get engine light for nothing. Very good transmission and engine break. Its really smooth. It doesnt jump up and down like Cascadia. Computer knows what its doing. My conclusion Owner operator should get Cascadia because its cheaper and cheaper repair. It will break down more than Volvo but remember its cheaper. Company driver should get Volvo because you dont pay nothing for break down. Volvo is expensive just to diagnose.

[@Ricchmic]

So u firmly advice cascadia for a first time o/o

[@dmars_e8762]

I wish that volvo came with the n14 red top

[@michaelrodriguez2348]

I drove both for awhile. Your right, about both of them. If Volvo was bigger inside i would love to drive it over the Cascadia. I like comfort and performance. Wish i could have the comfort of a Cascadia and the performance of the Volvo all in one. I choose the Cascadia because I'm older and i need the comfort. Lol.

The whole engine/transmission reliability issue on the Cascadia isn't nearly as bad if you spec it with a Cummins and an Eaton like I did. The buyout price is a little more expensive, but parts suppliers are way more likely to have them for the ISX/X15 and Eatons than DDs and Freightliner 12spds.
