I drove a cab over several people and a fire hydrant.
I reckon that doesn't count tho.
Anyhow....good thread.

The first semi truck I drove was a cab over Freightliner for CF. Then for Frito Lay I drove the Fords and later the cornbinders AKA International. The International rode as good as most hoods do and had a very small doghouse compared to the older cabovers.
Intothesunset, mjd4277 and whoopNride Thank this. -
first truck I drove was a corn popper. .. international transtar pretty much the columbia of its day then went to mack cruiseliner. ford 9000 , corn binder ( 9670 international much improved over transtar ) then a peterbuilt with air ride and believe it or not power steering and a air conditioner that actually worked thought I was on vacation most of the time lol ... then a kw with a 400 cat would run 95 .... then all conventional after that

I drover a 95' intl coe with a 11.1 detroit. Super 10 trans. Bought from Walmart with less than 400,000 miles.
Drove it for 19 years. Sold it about a year ago. It's still working.I Bought a 97' freightliner fld condo sfa "rare" with a 470 detroit. When I first got out of the seat and was able to stand up, I felt like I just got parolled. hands high in the air still unable to touch the ceiling.
But let me tell you, I had to learn to drive all over again. Used to roll dr.side window down on coe and look back and see entire side of truck and trailer. The first time I tried backing my fld, I rolled down windows, looked back and all I could see was a big muffler and muffler guard.
For a few times, backing, I would over steer, than over correct, than over steer, than over correct, lol you get the picture. I miss my coe on some day's, when on tight spots, but love the room and comfort of my fld.SheepDog Thanks this. -
Best thing about cabovers is Truckers for most part were in shape. Todays truckers would have a hard time with climbing in a cabover
Bean Jr., TankerP, heavyhaulerss and 1 other person Thank this.
