Yup we got 2 new FH Volvos loaned to us for tests. What kind of test? I'm not sure myself but I'm excited, since we are the first ones in Quebec to get them! The guy working on it says that it's really, REALLY comfy to drive. Let's hope that i'll get to drive it a bit in the courtyard hehe.

Also, I called for the Citroen today. Apparently it's some kind of barn find and the guy imported it here from Europe. Bad news is that there's rust (with holes) on the rocker of the driver's side and some surface rust in the back. He didn't start the engine yet since there's no gas and he didn't find the key to open the gas cap yet but he says that he did hear the gas pump working when the key is at ON. Other than that...the car is not plated yet, so I have to check EVERYTHING before I go pass the inspection. I gave him an appointment for next Thursday (that's the only day he was available). I'm gonna see in detail how bad it is with the help of this! !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! .

Do you guys run Volvos now? If not it might be a "here try this, love it and com back and buy more".

We made the Volvo dealership and garage live for years actually. It's more of a "Thanks guys! For our friendship and the fact that you bought almost 100 Peterbilts recently and still got a few brand new Volvos also, we loan you awesome trucks that don't meet the US emission standards FIRST! Exclusivity for you!"

Nice. You have to appreciate that kind of thing. Kind of a lost art now a days.

Indeed. But you're not far off with the approach to get the big boss to buy more Volvos though. It's all business.

Damn.
I always want to drive a Volvo truck or Citroen SM.

Even i got license for that. Too bad in here most truckers prefer either Mercedes or Scania.

Volvo seems to be on the expensive side when it comes to parts compared to others. Maybe that's why.

I can't find FH trucks on Volvo Canada's site, are they on loan to you to see how they do here?

Yup. They are illegal here because of emission standards but Volvo managed to get a special permit for it and they loaned it to us exclusively for 2 years to test it and also because we are a really good client to them.

hahahaha. Seriously you definitely can't go wrong with a Volvo. It's the easiest trucks to drive and the most luxurious IMO.

Ya.

I've drive one, but not the truck one, the Bus that has been converted into an RV.

And even their bus (or RV) is awesome.
