FleetOwner got invited along on a test ride of a new 2010-compliant Volvo VN780 highway tractor hauling a trailer load of baled paper, with the GCVW topping out at 67,000 pounds. The tractor -- part of a special "2010 Driving Success" North American road tour -- comes equipped with a Volvo D13, Volvo I-Shift automated manual transmission (AMT), wide base tires on the tractor's tandem axles, a battery-powered bunk air conditioning system, full aerodynamic fairings, and Volvo Enhanced Cruise (VEC) system.
