Problem: Volvo Trucks North America (Volvo) is recalling certain model year 2009-2015 Volvo VN trucks manufactured April 14, 2008, to December 23, 2014.

Structure · at 300 miles · reported Jan 27, 2016
I slip seat between 5 of this style volvo and 9 freightliners. After driving volvos my body is ragged and beat up from the constant movement of the suspension and cab. Driving the same routes the freightliners do not beat up my body like the volvos. I have seen that there is an inquiry to volvo's excessive cab sway and wanted to add my experience to this inquiry.
