As an American truck driver, Volvo has been around a bit here, becoming more common. I've never driven one, I heard their sleepers are top notch and they've gotten the automatic transmission market going, in fact most companies upgrading tractors advertise they've got Volvo autos for drivers. I spent three months in Australia twenty years ago, I sure fell in love with the country. If they've got a driver shortage, I'm free tomorrow if ScoMo has work papers for us😆👍 All the best from Kentucky 🚛🛣️🌄🇺🇸💞🇦🇺

[@volvotrucks]

[@murwaz]

Lovely! And great to see a Volvo doing it, I know they are getting very popular there just like in the US, no wonder, most likely the best truck available on the market today. Anyway, you always used to get people saying Euro trucks cant do this and cant handle Australia... xD So I get very happy when I see these videos, these amazing trucks doing this kind of job. :) I find it funny, northern Sweden if you go back 30 - 40 years, maybe less had alot of very rough roads, often not paved at all and trucks did the work back then, not like Volvo, Scania or any other European brand is strangers to harsh conditions. Minus 50 C in the winter in northern Sweden sometimes... take that and then roads that are damaged from the frost and so on, especially if its unpaved and badly taken care of... :) Damn it, I always get in to these rants, love trucks so much! :D -- Awesome that she took up trucking to be able to provide for her self, and keep a connection to her late husband, beautiful story! :)

[@JoeHupp]

Stefan, one good thing with Aussie Volvos is that they are built to withstand the toughest conditions Mother Nature and the roads can throw at them.... I live on one of Australia's major transport routes and I watch trucks as I travel around..... for every Kenworth/Western Star I see, I'll often see up to 3 Volvos. Most of them are the bigger FH540's up to the FH16 700's in semi (FH540) or B-Double (FH16 700) - I still see the odd FM doing 45ft single trailer "dog" work but the mainstay of what I see are FH's

[@PWD65]

I never knew much about volvo trucks, or trucks in general. I started my diesel apprenticeship two years ago, I mainly work on Mack, UD, Kenworth and sometimes Westernstar trucks, but when I see a Volvo come in I always volunteer to work on it, they are a dream to work on, and they really are the most technologically advanced truck in the market. When I finish my apprenticeship I plan on driving trucks, and I hope I can end up driving a Volvo! but I'd settle for a Kenworth too.

Good on you! My late sister drove rock hauling trucks right alongside her husband; she always tried to get at least one more load than he did. It was REALLY tough in those cabs with no air conditioning and 100+degrees every day all summer long.

[@TRPGpilot]

At 100° water would be boiling, so yes, that tough . . .

[@MrGilRoland]

Locals: “Let’s make a railroad”. Volvo: “Why?”

[@MrGilRoland]

@Numbered No, I mean Volvo.

[@nocheinbot5482]

Well a rail is still more efficient.

[@skunkjobb]

@@nocheinbot5482 Yes but it depends on several factors, primarily how many years the mine will be used. If it's only a shorter period (lika a decade or so), it might be more economical to use trucks and not have to build a new railway. I assume the road already exists but one has to account for increased wear on the road too with all the heavy trucks. There was such a decision made in Sweden a few years ago. Everybody's glad they didn't spend a billion on a railway since the mine went bankrupt shortly after it was opened. But for a large mine making solid business for many decades, rail is the best.

Impressive road building to take loads like that in the heat and not crack up. Of course, proper loading and spreading the weight out over so many wheel sets helps to keep the tarmac in good shape, too. Since I saw that video with a Volvo truck hauling 750 tonnes I am not surprised when one hauls 175 tonnes with ease.

Its a lonely life no matter what country you drive HGVs long distance. In the UK, most are out Monday to Friday, tramping they call it. No life except for trucking. Suits some obviously but the problem is according to a 2019 survey, the average age of a UK HGV driver is 48. The younger generation don't want to do 15 hours days and not be home for a week. Why would they if they can get the same money doing an 8 hour day sat in a nice modern office doing something in IT ? Im 51 and see the appeal in trucking but you really have to love the lifestyle to do it.

[@JoeHupp]

sisutrucks is right - the only thing that a road train spec prime mover like this FH16 10x6 has over it's standard B-Double/single trailer counterpart is a more heavy duty driveline, cooling package, suspension and frame. Some run standard compressors but not all
