One of the things i noticed about these truck journalists is that they only get to see and test these truck right from new, when the truck is new ,9/10 times the overall perception is very satisfactory regardless of the make, it would be nice to have another review probably 5 years down the line so that we see how tough they really are.

American trucks look beautiful on the outside like Kenworth W900, but the interior of all these trucks always seem so depressing, dark and very aged. European trucks may have a smaller bunk and may be less comfortable for very long trips, but they always have a clean interior, lots of light so less depressing and they are very agile and more fuel efficient. I prefer European trucks but that doesn’t mean I don’t like the Amercian ones. It’s very impressive when I see one driving on European roads. (Which is rare because of all the length regulations where I live,)

So let me get this straight.. Volvo is shit? Thats why there is volvo trucks all over US roads, yet no American trucks on European roads.. the most well know truck brand on earth is Scania because even in the most inhabited places in the world there is a Scania pulling something over a mountain or across ice caps. There is a reason why Volvo are known as globetrotters, because that what they do.

Try living / driving in outback Australia where most of the roads are just dirt tracks which might see a grader once or twice a year if you're lucky. Then you will understand. I have seen many of your flashy plastic Volvos and Scanias scrapped on the side of these roads. The locals who know and understand the conditions, ALL drive Kenworths and Macks. Even Western Star are not up to the standards required in many cases - they are popular on long haul bitumen highway runs, but rarely seen "off road".

Hi, I'm interested in getting into truck driving as a long-term career having previously driven buses on a medium rigid licence on the mid-north coast of New South Wales and I plan to upgrade to a heavy combination licence to achieve this. Any tips on how I should go about kick-starting my career in this industry? Will my lack of experience as a truck driver be detrimental, or will my extensive bus driving experience help? I've seen advertisements for truck driving jobs but they all ask for people with experience driving trucks. How can you get that experience if you can't get a start? Also, how is trucking with regard to the availability of automatic transmissions? I ask, because I don't drive a manual transmission and haven't since I was about 16. Thanks in advance.

I think the Kenworth looks nice but I have never driven one. I have driven Volvos and Scanias mostly in northern Scandinavia in extreme winter conditions. Currently, I drive a Freightliner Cascadia in Canada and USA and its an ok truck. Volvo is superior all trucks when it comes to roadhandling and power but they need to get that cab extendet. Not only for the looks but also for driver comfort.
