Road Report - Big Truck Version - Volvo chapter


I don't see many Volvos that I feel like recording, but occasionally one pops in front of my camera. Yesterday it was two, and at the same truck stop.

Not sure what Lev Li is hauling, but he has a Chic Truck Machine. I like the low rise sleeper, particularly for a tarp top bulk trailer. The lift axle was raised, but the tires took the road as the truck entered the parking area and was still spinning when I took this.

Single axle tractors are very rare these days. The traditional 14 wheeler of the 1950s and 1960s, were soon replaced by 18 wheelers (or more) except for specialist carriers like this one. It is operated by Advanced Drainage Systems Inc., and carries high volume, low weight plastic drain pipe. The no rise cab and low rise moose bar seem to be a good match.
