I heard a few horror stories about Volvo . Guy drive 2 at last job, spent a lot of time in shop ,it was brand new . But cant be worse than our 2019

Only trouble I've had with a Volvo has been getting kicked out of a Facebook group for antagonizing the W900 and 379 sensitive sallies.

Lots of distracted driving going on. Met tons this winter and man do some of them not pay attention. Can tell which companies have a good set of operators tho.

Cool beans . So is it true ...backing a b is opposite to single ? So like backing bobtail?

Yeah. It’s not that bad though once you get the concept of it. Biggest thing is to start off straight

Our class 3 trucks only have tank dividers.  It still likes to slosh around and push you all over lol. That's why I like to empty far back tank first ,otherwise it's back heavy and an animal on the highway
