 Where have all the cabovers gone?
Quote:
Cabover trucks are cheaper to buy and operate, and they allow more freight in a longer trailer. But they've all but disappeared from America's highways in the last 10 years, except for the occasional antique doing local drayage.
The demise of the once ubiquitous cabover, those flat-faced trucks designed with the cab sitting on top of the engine, is an example of how one thing can lead to another. In this case, a 10-year shortage of drivers.
