COE

Yup. A lot in the western states (California) for 57' trailers and size limitations on some of the mountain roads.

 

I want a cabover from overseas a MAN or Volvo would be cool...

 

SO I GUESS A 300" WHEEL BASE 379 AND UN GOVERNED WOULD BE A NO NO?!. WOULD BE FUN TO GET THE OLD PETE ON THE AUTOBAHN AND SEE WHAT THE OLD TRK WOULD DO FLAT OUT. PROBABLY CAUSE QUITE A STIR IN THE LAW ENFORCEMENT. PROBABLY BURY YOU UNDER THE JAIL FOREVER. WAS A FUN THOUGHT THOUGH.

 

Ain't nobody gonna slow down to let the (minutely) faster truck by. Used to be hoods were easier to service, now they're tucking the engine under the dash and hanging all that emissions .bs on it, a cabover might just be the ticket.

 

A 9 speed?That was a small truck.

Super singles on the drive? NO
The few that tried that have stopped using them,better look closer.

Scania is not even in the top 3.

The semi's are build to be a little shorter then 55 feet.With max trailer lenght being 44 1/2 feet.
That's all the law allows for "normal" operations.

But those short semi's are loaded heavier then their US cousins.So size doesn't tell all.

 

And ..............there are 2 Volvo COE's being tested in Canada as we speak.
Transport Robert.
There is even something about it on TTR.(apparently the drivers like then)
