I've only driven 2 Cabovers. Frieghtliner and a Pete. Both for an Outlaw outfit, so these 2 were Junk trucks. 2nd shortest Job I had. Made good money though..

Re: COE vs. conventional
That is a nice looking truck, great for running the East coast with all their docks that can't accomodate conventionals!

Re: COE vs. conventional
If Pete was still building their 362 that would be my next dump truck. I don't want to buy a used one and take a chance on having the frame cut and lengthened. Plus adding drive axles and all that. Being a welder by trade I know how tricky load bearing welding can be. Unless I know the guy real well and have his welds x-rat and ultra sound tested, no way Jose.

Re: COE vs. conventional
Click on my avitar and you will see the first truck I bought in 1976. A 1966, 7400 White, with a 250 Cummins and 10 speed with 4.44 rears, weed burner exhaust. A real hotrod. It would run 53 MPH flat out on I-10 in Lousiana with 40K on.

I have owned and driven many cabovers. I bought an International 9700 condo cabover in 2000. Good riding and driving truck.

If my poor old arms and back could still stand it, I wouldn't mind a cabover now. But it sure is easier just walking up into the truck I drive.

Re: COE vs. conventional
Now if they would just put a real sleeper on it. Maybe make it LH drive, I would consider it.

Go to the paccar website and check out the KW cabovers still sold in AUS.

BC2K, I have seen those, Gotta like 'em! On the Mack website, they do have a model with a sleeper; now, it's no ICT, but it would definitely get the job done for some regional/short haul work.

Yep, the Conventional today is a good truck with those sleepers and big engines. But the COE can answer their back door if they add big sleepers to replace their original sleepers. And add power engines like the Detroit 8V91 engine.
