    What's there to laugh? The CF is a typical midsize distribution truck, it is not meant for long haul.

    Instead of the day cab you would use in the US.

    It would be, but I'm sure this video was made to show drivers who are only used to US style cabovers, that it is actually possible to enter a cabover without having the skills of a gibbon, or without a stairway sliding out.

    I suppose the "top up your oil" remark was made to explain that you don't have to turn over the cab to do these things.
