This Volvo Ad Will Make You Want To Become A Trucker
This Volvo Ad Will Make You Want To Become A Trucker-May 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:13:25

This 90-second clip is actually for Volvo Trucks Gear; those sweet muted-color graphic T's and accessories donned by the scruffy-sexy narrator. But if driving a semi-truck really is all about looking cool and drinking coffee like it seems here, sign me the hell up.

Apparently I'm not the only one taken by the reassuringly rugged-yet-reassuring tone of the voiceover and clean visuals; this clip took home a few accolades from The Telly Awards who judge commercials and clips from the internet for awesomeness.

"The video produced by Myjive, Inc. received two silver awards, the competition's highest honor, and three bronze awards. More than 12,000 videos from all 50 states and five continents were up for consideration at the 35th annual Telly Awards, which recognizes the best in film and video production, online videos and TV segments."

Would love to hear from some active-duty truckers regarding how well this clip captures the reality of the trade, or if anyone else finds the idea of this lifestyle appealing.

This Crash May Have Cost Iveco The 2014 Dakar
This Crash May Have Cost Iveco The 2014 Dakar
This crash is why Andrey Karginov and Kamaz were awarded a time credit. MINI driver Zhou Yong of China had a vehicle-crippling crash about 90 kilometers in and while De Rooy's Iveco was able to skirt around, it seems the road was totally blocked by the time the Russians came...

How'd This Insane Ford Raptor Limo End Up In China?
Though only available as a grey-market import in China, the is apparently popular enough to be re-cast as a luxury liner, as shown by this stretched and gull-wing'ed limousine spotted in Quanzhou, Fujian Province. Breaks my heart to see such a capable truck crippled for the sake of fashion (although...
