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.

@@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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

In my experience, I wanna focus on dependability. I have driven all makes of trucks and I find that any truck will last along time if treated like a tender object. I’ve met drivers who slammed and jammed the truck and before long they are setting on the side of the road broke down. I’ve driven trucks over a million miles and never had any major breakdowns, yes, the normal stuff due to bad fuel or very severe weather conditions. But never caused by driver abuse. I do wanna get home after all.

They regen less often and better on fuel economy ! Now what truck would I buy over ALL ? It would be the 359 or 379 or 389 hands down on newer rigs ! On older rigs it would be the Diamond Reo with the triple sleeper and the 275 inch wheel base w/ twin 8 inch stacks chrome kegs and 200 gal. Tanks 4x4 - 16 speed Spicer low pro air 5th heated west coast mirrors and lit up like a Christmas tree ! What did I drive for over 30 years was usually a FreightLiner air ride cabover w/ 70” bunk 200 inch wheel base and a 9513 RoadRanger 13 speed tranny .

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.

I’ve been selling trucks for over 30 years. The Volvo is a stought and safe truck for sure. The steel cab can be heavy though and decrease your payload capacity. Volvo does not have the dealer network that Freightleiner/ Western Star and Detroit does either. Volvo is also are limited to the 13 liter engine, which for some applications, like heavy haul, may not offer enough power compared to the Detroit DD15 or the 600 HP DD16. But like I said, Volvo makes a nice truck. Back in the 80’s and 90’s I ran 5 trucks and hands down the Freightliner with the 12.7 liter Series 60 Detroit made the most Money because if the great fuel economy and reliability. I had several Detroit engines get a million miles before going in to them. Of course all the drivers wanted to drive the Cat powered Pete’s I had, but at 4.5 to 5 miles per gallon, they looked good, but didn’t make the money the Detroit powered Freightliner’s did at the end of the year. Like you said, they are both good trucks and will do a great job. I was surprised about your comment in the DT12 automated transmission in the Freightliner, I’ve not had any complaints on shifting or performance. Now some drivers don’t care for the “ E-Coast”, but are amazed how well the engine brake works. It will hold you back coming off a long extreme mountain. Be safe out there and stay away from ole Rona Corona. If you get thru San Angelo, Texas sometime give me a shout and I’ll buy you a cup of coffee. I’ve been with the Freightliner/ Western Star dealer out here for over 20 years and seen a lot of changes in the truck industry over the decades.

I was at Goodfellow AFB for a year back in 2002. The #1 complaint I've heard about Freightliner transmissions is that many companies spec their trucks to run in eco mode only which causes the transmissions behavior to be a bit frustrating at times and especially during certain situations when it needs to perform otherwise.

Storage compartments in the Volvo are unparalleled. The new Cascadia storage areas are severely lacking. The previous model Cascadias had great storage spaces too. I miss my VNL 780. Best truck I've ever had. No problems.

My first truck was Cascadia. Many drivers I know were telling me that Volvo is way better so I was waiting for a chance to drive a Volvo and when I got it.... I didn't expect that Volvo would be worse than Freithgliner. My own truck will be Freightliner. Yes, Freightliner sometimes has check engine light too even when it has just 10.000 miles :)

After you start volvo , it takes little time for that light to go away its not an issue its just a normal process that ECU does. Thats why you turn ignition on and wait until it goes away and then you start it and truck cranks in a split second.

You said that freightliner is more comfortable than volvo? Are you sure? Freightliner is the worst truck to drive because it shakes all the time when driving. The suspension system on those trucks is horrible. Freightliner will kill your back in a short period of time.

So basically Freightliner is for real men (+6' 300lbs) and Volvo is for feminine men (skinny boys). Gotcha! There's a reason Freightliner Cascadias are the dominant choice for fleet. They are the strongest 💪 out there that's relatively cheap to buy, maintain and earn the companies using them the most money. The instant you switch to any other truck, you already lost money...

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

I still googoo eye the Volvo trucks every day on my way to work. I’m an RV Technician and get to drive the Big Class A Busses, but I’m not a truck driver. (YET) I drive over the 4th of July Pass every day 53 miles to my job and another 53 miles back home. I see hundreds of big rigs on the road everyday. My dream is to be a truck driver because I’m anti-social lol. I really like the Volvos, Peterbuilt 389 and 789’s and think the Mack truck Anthems look the coolest. However, my opinion is based off looks, not experience.

Honestly Volvo is the #1 Truck that I see on the side of the road with the Hood up and triangles behind it. No lie. Now as far as owning 1 The Parts, The resale value after 600,000 drops dramatically. Also The Volvo dealerships are far less to find out on the road and not everyone wants to fix on them. I just think the New Trucks are more Problematic and Less reliable. I'll stick with Freightliner because they have way more Dealerships.
