Cab Overs- should make a come back

We just got rid of ours this year. They were late 90's Freightshakers. Oldest in the fleet I think. They were day cabs too. Mainly used on linehaul as extra trucks. When your assigned truck went down we called it "getting thrown into the penalty box." Don't think they would be fun in the city though. My first truck I got thrown into my first linehaul run 4 years ago. Lol.

 

That's for sure some of these snub nose freightliners are just as good as a cab over. Plus you know what they say about a cab over if you get in a wreck your the first one at the scene lol.

 

I just saw a sweet one yesterday - well-maintained with a cool paint job. I never drove one but I moved one for a customer once. It was the weirdest thing. 50 feet was as far as I ever care to drive one.

 

Seen a nice cab over on I-81 one day a little north of the I-40/I-81 split. Black with copper colored tanks and a extended frame with a matching trailer

They ride like #### though

 

I've seen far worse accidents in conventional cabs than cabovers(including some where the drivers were ejected from the truck).

 

KW need to bring g back the k100. Dad had one when I was a kid and man I loved that truck. The short wheelbase made for a hell of a rough ride though

 

It'd be interesting to see how good of ride you could get out of a cabover with today's technology.
