Summary of "Снова Поломки Новой Volvo VNL 860?! Мексиканская Свадьба!"

Truck Maintenance & Troubleshooting (Volvo VNL 860)

Planned an oil change after reaching about 40,000 miles.
A new problem appeared: a seat air/deflation button (a new Volvo part) caused the passenger seat to:
- Deflate
- Leak air
No spare part was available, so they:
- Temporarily moved the seat/assembly from the passenger side to the driver side
- Installed a replacement where possible
Trailer/wheels issue mentioned:
- Rear wheels needed replacement (noted by Andryukha)
- They then proceeded with the wheel changes

Heading toward Texas, with expectations of future load/unload work (possibly carrying “karatysh”/cargo).
En route, they mentioned Chicago weather:
- Cloudy and drizzling
- A seasonal contrast: in the north (e.g., New Hampshire, Massachusetts) versus the south, where things quickly turn green and summery.

In Lubbock, Texas, the speaker returned to a facility shown earlier.
They experienced delays related to unloading appointment timing.
Initially, the dispatcher/warehouse setup suggested they might not load until later.
In the end, the load was smaller than expected:
- Only 6 pallets (rather than a larger shipment)
Key people-management approach:
- Be positive, friendly, and respectful with warehouse staff
- Treat staff as if they have authority so they’re more motivated to help
- If someone becomes confrontational, the situation tends to worsen
Result: loading happened quickly (in minutes), avoiding an overnight wait

After about 4 months of continuous work, they finally get their first weekend off.
- Plan: sleep at home, relax, and “rest.”
Fitness routine note:
- Gym training leaves you tired but charged
- The next day you feel stronger

The speaker feels lucky to attend a friend’s daughter’s wedding.
Venue & setup:
- A beautiful venue with a great hall and a decorated photo wall
- A DJ, with things set to start in about 2 hours
Cultural details:
- It’s their first wedding with someone from the Mexican side
- Expect Mexican music and dancing and Mexican food (the smells spread through the hall)
They also recorded a short video to help the family remember the day.

Locations: Chicago; New Hampshire; Massachusetts; South Carolina (nearby region); Lubbock, Texas; Dallas, Texas; and the wedding venue in Texas.
