cabovers

I saw this truck in Yuma last February. A 57 foot long trailer. Check out how deep the pin is. You wouldn't hook to it with just any tractor, would you?

A Pete with a coffin sleeper! This company has a dedicated run from Southern California to somewhere in Texas that they use these things on.

I like it! I would want a sleeper that I could at least roll over in though, going to TX ya would think they would have afforded him/her that small luxury. I love the truck though!

I'm thinkin' that the small cab, and the cabover layout, are what it takes to pull a 57 foot trailer and still be legal overall length. You won't see a conventional pulling a trailer that long.

No not a hood but just a little more sleeper please! All I want is to be able to lay in bed without touching metal!
 
Every once in a while you'll see a Winnebago (372) earning it's keep, like this one. One of the guys I work with knows I like old cabovers. He took this pic and sent it to me.

 
Here is a K100 I saw last night pulling a bull wagon on the Ohio turnpike.

The first shot is the truck in my side mirror as he passed me.
