If I worked the NE regularly you can bet a cabover would be my truck of choice, Argosy, 9670, 362, in that order of preference.

My dad is pulling the trigger on a glider, most likely from Hartford Freightliner. Any chance there's a place to test drive one? Rather than drop 130k and find out you wanted/didn't want an option. Yeah in the NE I'll be shocked if he still has to kill himself trying to do deliveries with a cab over.

I used to drive old argosy twice and I was dissapointed.Runs really rought, no air cab tilt, to climb a cab... like in Renault Magnum... how many drivers got ijuries falling down from these cabs. really the problem is that handles go wet and dirty in winter. It is a truck I have to throw in folder with papers after that I climb in cab!
Ok, good news - much cheaper than Actros ore Axor truck, simple design and reliable. Argosy cab meets European safety laws, but not so good like tought European cabs made of steel....
really when I realised that I need cabover I purchased Volvo FH COE. It is bad news, that Volvo does not offer cabover in NAtruckon Thanks this. -
If I were in the market for a new truck, I'd jump on an Argosy glider in a heartbeat. Slot in an 18spd, single drive with rear lift axle, and a nice Rebel tuned Series 60 would keep me very happy.
