    i've driven COE's i know what they are like. And yes i know other 3rd world contries use them. That because there roads are to small to fit our trucks.

    The ONLY good things about COE's is they're light and they are easy to manuver in tight areas. Other then that they suck. and are ugly as hello!

    If they didnt suck so bad Pablo on here wouldnt be drooling over our trucks, and he wouldnt have spent his money on a old SNI century....

    I used to run a Freightliner Argocy back in 2000, it was a nice truck, rode good, and was great to get around in. Flat floor, and a nice sleeper. I would love to have one again. When I was a kid I used to ride sitting on the doghouse next to my grandfather, so the COE has a special place in my memory...

    Germany, France, Norway, Switzerland, Austria, England, Sweden, Denmark and Holland have just been demoted to Third World countries. Mozart must be rolling over in his grave.

    Swift has some new COEs in the fleet, mainly for use in Los Angeles, New York and other mostly urban places. The local guys in those Third World areas who are driving them love them. I'm hearing the ride is not bad at all.


    I believe current manufacturers are International, Freightliner and Kenworth. But, as always, it is entirely possible I am mistaken. Oh. And I almost forgot about Scania. I believe that one is made in some Third World country somewhere across the Pond.

    I am just curious about something, is this a cabover or conventional?

    talk to the 50+ Truck Drivers from europe that make YouTube videos or better yet watch their videos...and you'll see how much they love their trucks. The best ones are the ones that have lived and driven here and can compare them....
