    Can still order them; here's one America, heavy haul companies still use them.

    You can order a 2007 emissions spec Arogosy glider in US. Cannot in Canada.

    The truck pictured is from Leavitt's Freight Service. It is a 200x (<2007) and I do believe it is sold. Leavitt's just dumped a bunch of these recently and this or it's sister hostles cans past my place everyday.

    2000 Argosy Series 60, not sure about "rough the ride comments", I'll take this COE over any conventional: great ride awesome maneuverability, fantastic visibility. Had a very nice FLD120 but 10 feet of nose in tight quarters wears thin after awhile.

    And best of all you are always the first to arrive at an accident.

    That's true, I drove one of those Kenworths with the recessed steer axle where the driver sits a little in front of the steers. Super smooth ride, but sure don't want to be in a wreck.

    True, it's important to be a defensive driver.
