Volvo VNL
The Volvo VNL is built for the needs of today’s and tomorrow’s long-haul trucking operations. The VNL delivers long-haul efficiency, along with premium comfort and amenities.

We are independent dispatch services. If you're interested how to be a successful dispatcher and how to make money dispatching trucks we can help you.

Aerodinamics
The latest VNL update features our most aerodynamic and fuel-efficient package. In fact, it offers up to 7.5% fuel savings when paired with an aero trailer compared to the previous package.

Up above, the roof air deflector complements the cab fairings, keeping the airflow attached and smoothing out costly turbulence between the cab and trailer. Also, the aerodynamic design of our mirror assembly reduces turbulence by attaching air more quickly to the tractor.

Sleek design. Solid savings.
Out in front, the VNL features a new hood, bumper and lower airflow deflector, which work together to quickly manage airflow and efficiently channel it rearward.

Down where the rubber meets the road, redesigned chassis fairings optimize airflow past the drive wheels and tractor-trailer gap.

State-of-the-art LED headlights.
To improve visibility and reduce maintenance, Volvo employs LED bulbs for all exterior lighting. All models feature LED high/low beam headlights, as well as LED turn, marker, and parking lamps.

The premium headlamp also features a “signature” LED daytime running light.

The VNL offers redesigned working and living spaces, optimized to put the driver comfortably in command, maximizing productivity. The seating has been ergonomically optimized, while the dashboard and steering wheel bring controls and information efficiently to the driver with minimal distraction. Our redesigned VNL sleepers make your drivers feel at home on the road.

Steering wheel
No two drivers are exactly the same, so it set out to design an optional steering solution that would be exactly the right height and angle, no matter who’s behind the wheel. With a three-way neck tilt, driver’s have an almost endless array of choices for positioning the wheel exactly where they prefer it.

Driver information display
At the heart of the new and improved instrument cluster is a five-inch driver display, with improved graphics, works with steering wheel mounted controls to provide key operating parameters, as well access to trip information, performance data, and wide-range of vehicle diagnostics.

Infotainment system
The new infotainment system is optional in every VNL. It features a seven-inch color touch screen and an integrated premium audio system. Drivers can also choose to install navigation tools and a wide selection of third-party applications.

Comfort comes standard.
To meet the comfort, health, and safety needs of today’s drivers and tomorrow’s VNL seating has been refined based on extensive ergonomic research. From smallest to largest, drivers will benefit from optimized seat placement, increased range of adjustment, and more accessible controls. Our optional built-in cooler feature under the passenger seat provides cold storage—accessible from driver seat—for snacks and drinks.

An industry first.
Volvo is proud to offer the first integrated, reclining bunk in a sleeper. Fully adjustable, it’s like putting your favorite easy chair in the cab. In the VNL 760, the reclining bunk can still efficiently store away to use the optional table top workstation configuration.

Moving on up.
An integrated telescopic ladder is now standard in the VNL 760. Large steps make it easier to get in and out of the top bunk. And the ladder quickly locks in place behind the cabinet when not in use.

Control panel 
The sleeper control panel can be used to lock the doors, adjust bunk heating and cooling, set audio levels and close all shades simultaneously. An adjacent desk top swivels off the back wall for meals or laptop use on the bunk.

VNL 300
Designed to work with the driver, delivering outstanding performance and visibility, the VNL 300 is the perfect solution when your route takes you out and back the same day. Even with its compact configuration, you’ll still find a surprising collection of standard features unique to Volvo that make for profitable, safe and reliable operations.

VNL 400
A versatile and affordable flat-roof sleeper tractor, the VNL 400 is especially well-suited for the unique demands of long-distance bulk haul and specialty applications. With a well-appointed 42" sleeper, the VNL 400 offers a 36-inch wide bed that provides a comfortable rest on overnight runs when delivery routes stretch far from home.

VNL 740
The spacious mid-roof VNL 740 is all about efficiency – designed to make the most out of every drop of fuel. Long hauls are no problem and it’s particularly well suited for weight-conscious specialty applications.

VNL 760
The new high-roof VNL 760 is destined to become our best-selling truck. Inside the new 70” long, 96” wide sleepers, drivers will find plenty of space to handle day-to-day demands, whether it’s catching up on paperwork, taking a meal break, or getting the rest they need for extended days on the road.

VNL 860
Beginning with a redesigned, more aerodynamic front end, the VNL 860 follows up with a panoramic windshield, a new dashboard, and optimized seating to put the driver comfortably in command. When the day is done, the upgraded high-roof 77-inch sleeper has plenty of space, storage and amenities to let team drivers feel at home, away from home.
