    Hey guys, looking for a little bit of feedback on a cab over dump truck that I'm looking at for business? First time I've seen one, and not sure if this was a conversion or factory built? In any event, I'm not sure if the application would be reliable, and/or effective in the dump truck industry. let me know what you guys think.

    May be a little heavy on the steer. But other than that and a pia to climb in and out of all day it should do fine.

    35-40 years ago Cabover dumptrucks were everywhere. There are still a few in service here and there. Great for tight locations.

    No reason why it can't do anything a conventional could if it was built for the task. Might even be beneficial on tight jobsites having 5 or 6 feet of hood missing.
