AMAZING im from bosnia but i was born in germany and lived there till i was four then we moved to america. my dads a truck driver, and we alwasy talk about how much nicer the volvo trucks are in europe and all the beautiful sights you get to see while drving in europe. man i cant wait to move back.
@Ps3capt Yeah I've Europe is a very nice place to visit am a truck driver from the Caribbean hoping one day to be in Europe to continue doing what i love driving Lorries all over Europe, Lol!
The same problems exist here in the US, every one wants what we bring, but don't care about the drivers. I'm fortunate to work for a pretty good company, been with them for 13 yrs now, but still experience the same as our European and Australian brothers and sisters. Only earn when the wheels turn, fuel very high, not as much as u pay, but very high. Fuel theft is a growing problem, not enough parking, unreasonable government regulations, Our trucks are different, but our country not as old
@berhorst59 yeah man, I have two uncles who are truckers here in Brazil and I can tell you the situation is much much worse. In Brazil there are no laws that protect truckers so companies can obligate'em to work several days without any sleep. I've lost the count on the amount times my uncle had to travel for more than 2500 miles without sleeping. Can you imagine that? Added to that a problem I imagine you guys don't have in the US: completely abandoned roads. anyways cheers have a good day!
@damnrobishere I have one advice for you and it's don't do it, in Europe if you want to work as a one man company you'll be eaten by law executives and copetition from big companies.
Super video, nice guys and nice trucks the Volvo Globetrotter XL is certainly my favourite. A combination of comfort, easy and relaxing to drive and it uses the space quite well. The only (slight) downside would be that that the XL rolls a little more than the Scania hightop but I think that the Volvo handles the power much better. Of course this could be because I'm not a very good driver...
Goodness sound like I work for Volvo but it is a great, well put together vehicle.
very nice video.i drive volvo in usa.i drove all over the usa.now i do short run,but long distance is much better.we live the same life.good luck to eveybody and happy trucking
@valmorgan it all depends in which European country you are working and on economy situation in that country, I'm from Poland and work as a driver in Ireland, back two, three years ago every driver was busy and making lots of money, now as the economy went down there's only few companies who would still pay enough for the work you do but most of the truckers are underpaid.
@westernhello Unpaid truckers you said oh shit that's fucked up sorry to hear that I've never had that problem in the Caribbean now am thinking twice about leaving my Country to come out there to drive trucks the only problem here is the money are not so good especially if someone like myself have to buy a house or a land i wouldn't be able to pay off for it my kids will have to complete that for me meaning i just might die of old age before i pay off for the house or land!
VOLVO + SWEDEN + SCANDINAVIA + VIKING = VOLVIKING OF THE ROAD!
