Learn Why Gold Rush’s Parker Schnabel Keeps Turning to Volvo Machines 

It’s simple they sponsor him so they get Volvo brand on national television 🙄

The interviewer needs to do a little research into how Parker got started in gold mining with his grandfather and maybe watch a season or two of Gold Rush to really see how successful Parker is and has been for many years, after telling his parents that he didn't want to go to college, he wanted to be a Gold Miner. I thought Parker was going to slap her when she called him a Fleet Manager. Seriously? That's what she thinks he is. Hardly. He has created a very successful mining company and is truly an entrepreneur mining "Millions of $$$" worth of Gold from the ground. He has also become the most popular figure on one of Discovery Channel's most watched shows, GOLD RUSH. I am a fan of the show and impressed with the young man and how successful he has become from where he started. Volvo makes good equipment, because if they didn't, Parker would not be using them in his mining operations.

Totally enjoyed Parker interview

It’s simple, the whole show is sponsored by Volvo and I’m guessing they sponsor Parker as well. Anyone else notice that they blur out the “Cat” logos on the excavators. The only reason why they don’t blur out the brand name of the D series Cat dozers is because Volvo doesn’t make steel tracked bulldozers.

For everyone saying he's not a fleet manager, he is on top of many other jobs he does on site. If you have noticed, he has taken on a much larger office role and they've even shown him looking at and purchasing equipment from the internet. While, that's not what he is known for and he is the owner of the company....he's still a fleet manager

Parker is awesome!

That lady knew nothing about Parker- The context of her questions Illustrated that the Producers ( of her show ) simply told her you are interviewing a young man who grew up to be a fleet manager. Parker was as gracious as I have ever seen him, to an interviewer that frankly didn't have an ounce of his background. Keep pushing those Electric Vehicles though.

If you want to sell equipment Volvo put up someone that has actual ran a machine to interview Parker.

I noticed that if it's a Cat Dozer or Excavator (used by any team) the writing on machines are pixelated. Is the show sponsored by Volvo ?

Your Grandfather would be very proud!

I went to Volvo just because they were only ones with an excavator ready. All others needed 6-12 months 2021.

Ahhh, Vegas! Thats why he's hungover and voiceless.

Kids turned into a good person honestly didn't think he was going too

Great interview would exspect nothing less of parker

Because you give him huge discounts

i grown up with watching parker ! :)

11:22 who needs a bank-if Parker's company sold stock I'd buy some

Have you found Tony yet? I wonder what he has to say about the products!!

Parker used a CAT for his foray in Bolivia 😋

I've operated many different manufacturers equipment and Volvo is one of the best.....yes you have breakdowns but all equipment does especially under extreme conditions

i wonder whats in his contract with discovery channel and volvo /cheap equipment?

Parker hung over in Vegas

She interviews the most popular person there and blows it Last year doing this gig. Volvo can do much better. She didn’t like him and showed it

pretty obvious its a deal. nice machines don't get me wrong but then why are all others blurred on the show.

Maybe front load him with the questions? Parker isn’t much of an interview subject, heck, he’s looking down 3/4 of the time. Seems like Volvo could’ve set this up a little better.

Becouse they basically give him the machines

There is a reason you see cat equipment everywhere on the show despite volvo throwing money at it. Cat works and you can get parts. Volvo getting better but its limited. Komatsu makes some of the biggest and baddest imo, but it isnt viable in remote territories because of parts. So you almost never see on the show.

It is called product placement.

Large contractors use CAT, Deere, Komatsu, Liebherr

she is just fishing for volvo answers hahaha

I think Parker might be a tad high or a few beers...

He looks hammered or stoned lol. Holding his composure well .. bahaha

Volvo skidsteer or Toyota Skidsteer anyone?

If that’s the case why does he own a 390 instead of a 950 Volvo

I LOVE YOU VOLVO

Who makes the bulldozers 🎯

Most well known Volvo operator is actually LetsDig18

Parker looks hung over. I think he should have brought back some Peruvian flake to open his eyes.

parker looks baked

CAT fanboys/fangirls are going to war in the comments, you get a giggle reading them.

On tv Volvo is okay, but in the real earth moving world, Caterpillar or Komatsu get it done

well the discounted free equipment and sea cans full of free supplies probably help I bought my Volvo rock trucks cause they work. no one in construction who buys your equipment gives a fuck what parker gets or says about it

They pay him the most!

It's called advertising and free equipment

PARKER HITACHI WASH PLANTS ON A RIVER WRONG ANSWER dunk him LOL fleet manager haaa yup thats parker

If they had decent drivers there wouldn’t be half as much smashing

Dude looks fried. I thought I read somewhere he was entering the pot business?....Not a criticism....more an observation.

They must make em diff for the stars cause Volvo sucks round my area

Electric excavator do pigs really fly????? I guess just to prove it won't fly.

Because he can’t afford Caterpillar

Well that was hard to watch

Parker looks hungover as shit

Electric shovels??? lmao what a joke

bet he has a hard time walking around looking at stuff

Why is he soooo HIGH ?

I think parker handled this unexperienced interviewer very well...to bad they didnt give him someone that knew a little bit of what he does..she needs to do a little research before facing someone of his caliber. lol

He's either really, really tired or he's really, really stoned...

Because they sponsor the show and he probably gets it for pennies on the dollar

Likely because they are a sponsor of the show Got nothing to do with parker

Volvo is a solid brand parker knows his shit .I am sure Parker has some kind of deal with Volvo get his parts and gear cheaper but still i bet even if he wasnt a tv star he still would be useing them .

Who can up with these questions? A 5 year old and someone who is clueless about mining would be my guess

Gold rush why not make it real instead of fake it all. Will never watch it again

Yea he turns to Volvo except for all of his CAT dozers lol

parker never buy this brand on his mine it is sponsored by this group for the show for free publicity

Because he gets paid and gets free equipment?

Is Parker on drugs Looks like it is big time?

He has been endoctrined into using Volvo----he should try Cat---they have bigger and better machines that make Volvos look like toys----just saying!!!!

100% because he gets them for free. Why do all the Gold Rush stars run Volvo and no other brand? 🧐

because volvo is one of the cheaper options and you guys practically give the machines to him because its the ultimate advertisement. if parker wasn't on t.v he wouldn't use volvo like 90% or the other outfits because they are junk!

I was wondering why he post gay pictures of himself with guys from the show all over his social media accounts

He buys the machines because they r cheap. They trade turn off every couple years cause they r crap and wear out. These r stupid question, she keeps prying for him to say something nice about Volvo.

Lol. He doesn't turn to volvo. Volvo is a huge sponsor of the show.

its because the Discovery channel owns him and that's why he has the money when Discovery is through with him he will not be buying anything

parker needs to take a class in public speaking

I'd operate whatever company gave me machines to use. Nothing new to see here. Dudes a TV hero. No big deal.

just dont run a shear head on volvo excavators nothing but issues all the time on brand new ones at that!

Cause his daddy pays for them.

they give them to him cheap or he would have CAT'S!!!!

18,000 hours is nothing. Cat i is s a proven 30,000 hour machine. Yes cat costs more. But they last longer. Have fewer breakdowns and move more material. Volvo is a crap machine

He’s really helping global warming

Correct answer is.... Money 🫡
