    I wouldn’t know what one looks like if it was in front of me. Lol. I just know it’s a Paccar brand and sort of how the MX13 ended up on this side of the pond.

    Gotta be cool! Probably got a tall shifter, too. Although in cabover, that sounds like a recipe for knocking out your co-driver when you go to far gate

    What is the reason the US done't do cab overs? They have become 50/50 or more here in Australia, especially long haul. You would imagine its possible to order one made here in Aus and have it delivered to the US if the US is not building them.

    Sorry for the dumb Q, but what is a glider kit?
