What is this?

I've seen several of these trucks going south on 95, the ones I've seen have all been white with red frames. I always figured they were built at the Cleveland N.C. plant and intended for export, the ones I've seen have had long wheel bases and no fifth wheel, and most of the time the ones I'd see were running 2 or 3 of them together.

 

Or just run the fan off of the power steering pump

 

If I had to guess I would say the guy(or gal) just got out of a long nose pete and this is the first cabover he/she has ever driven.

No hood will do to you for the first couple of miles,LOL

 

Really, you need some experience to drive cabover. It is less stabil then conventional tructor, other weight distribution, especially european cabover with made of steel cab. Bobtailing is more dangerouse!

Anyway cabover got some advantages for mountaine and urban operations, so my opinion USA needs cabovers, like conventional trucks would be good on German autobahns.

 

Depending on which dealer you talk to, you can still get an Argosy glider. The Argosy is still made here and exported to NZ, AU & SA. The 2012 Argosy is a redesigned model. Did the front look like....
