Cabovers

I did not spexifically blame the stupid COE. I stated several times that I have a vision defect of a particular kind.

There are two places you can put a car and I will never see it mirriors or not. Which is why I will never drive cabovers again.

I don't blame objects, I stand up and say it's my problem. However sometimes the object breaks and it becomes a story.

God knows I spent over half my miles in those #### things, enough is enough as far as I am concerned. Conventional on the other hand were prefect, not always nice but very good for me.

 

Hubbard, OH last night...

 

All this time is was thinking your truck had a sleeper.

 

Nope I wish sometimes! But most of my runs are out and back....and when I need one I get a cheap hotel room.....or sometimes a sick one!

 

Shot this at the Petro in Gaston,Indiana. Believe it or not I think the International cabover (9670 model I think) is actually wider than the ProStar it’s parked next to,even though the ProStar’s cab widens back past the doors.

 

I've driven one of these recently. NO CDL required auto.
Not bad. A little awkward at first climbing in and out.

 

I like the way Freightliner addressed that issue with the Argosy:

 

The Argosy was/is the worst cabover I ever drove.

 

I've yet to drive any, just think those swing out steps are trick.

 

They were great until you drove in slush all day or off road in the mud and they got a bunch of road gunk caked up in all the moving parts. Not so great then.
