It's the same as with any other make of truck. Typically, a driver will push the switch to dump air out of the truck's suspension. If the kingpin lock isn't already pulled, they'll get out of the truck and pull it out before backing under the trailer. Once this is done, they'll back under the trailer, keeping the truck centered with the trailer. They should be able to hear the kingpin lock when it closes around the trailer kingpin. Once they believe they're under and connected to the trailer, they'll put the truck into first gear and pull forward to ensure that the trailer is properly connected. Once this is done, they'll get out of the truck again. They will connect their air lines (red to red, blue to blue) as well as the pigtail for their lights. Then they'll raise the trailer's landing gear. At that point, they're hooked up. From there, you'd check to ensure the trailer lights, brakes, etc. work, but that's after hooking up to the trailer.

What is the overall length of a tractor and trailer?
That depends on the length of the power unit and the weight of the trailer. With a Kenworth W900L with a 265" wheelbase and a 53' stepdeck trailer, I had an overall length of 77 feet. With a Volvo VNL730 and a 48' flatbed or stepdeck trailer, I was right at about 67 or 68 feet. Heavy haul combinations can be significantly longer, but 65 to 78 feet would be about the norm for an over-the-road regional or line haul tractor pulling a single trailer.
Which tractor trailer is considered the best?
The more high end tractors are the Kenworth W900L, Peterbilt 379EXHD, Volvo VNL64T770 and VNL64T880, the International 9900ix, and the International Lone Star.
Does Volvo still manufacture tractors?
Yes, they do, if you're referring to tractors in the context as they're applied to tractor-trailer truck combinations. Volvo Cars and Volvo A.B. (the truck manufacturer) are no longer affiliated with each other, by the way. Volvo Cars was sold to Ford Motor Corporation, who I believe later sold it to Tata Motors.

In the VNL/NH series, it's in the centre of the dash. You pull out the cupholders, and there'll be two screws exposed which you have to remove. Once that's done, you simply pull the panel up, and the fuse panel is exposed.
