Cab-Overs Aren't Dead

I made a pickup at Freightliner's Cleveland, NC operations. This tractor was parked near the front gate.

Cabovers are still really popular in Europe because their streets were built 1000 years ago when horse-drawn carts moved things along pathways between stone buildings. Not much room to work with over there.

Understood. (Would work well in some Eastern US towns!) So there's a display model in North Carolina?

You can't see it on these images, but I zoomed in on my original photos. This buggy is right hand drive!

Here in Saudi Arabia that's pretty much all you see, 6-wheel cab-overs from Mercedes, Man, and Volvo. Most of them look like they're pulling over 80k and have been for years. I play mental games riding to work, trying to see how many DOT violations I can see. HOS is apparently nonexistent here, judging from the number of wrecked trucks I've seen going into curves, and lying on their sides in the middle of miles of perfectly straight road. Saufi Arabia is 5th highest in the world for highway fatalities, and unfortunately truckers here do their share.

That truck looks inbred.
