Why aren't cabovers more popular, personally I like them. Thinking about getting on to fix up since you can get older ones a lot cheaper then conventionals. I think Freightliner is the only one that makes them much anymore.

I kind of fell in love with them while driving a Freightliner Argosy for a grocery hauling company. The first night on the job they sent me out in a Columbia with no lockers, after two hours playing around in the snow at the loading dock trying to get the #### thing unstuck I went into the office the next day and asked to be put on something that had lockers. They set me up with the "apartment building" as I affectionatly named it and I was in love. Very manuverable and easy to back up with the trailer, and I loved the view from way up there, and the doghouse was perfect for putting the paperwork on with out filling the passenger seat with it and having it all on the floor after the first bump. It did ride a little rough, but I learned to drive on a 1978 Kenworth with spring suspension, so the Argosy was like a Rolls Royce compared to that. I love the look of the old Kenworth and Freightliner cabovers as well, very classic looking trucks. And Broncrider, I live in Saskatchewan, Canada, but I work in the oil patch in Alberta, still like the cabovers though
