Cabover windows

Now that longer units are allowed on the roads, the main advantage of these trucks, is no longer valid. However, we are left wondering — were there advantages to the cabover verses our beloved modern rigs? These are some of the common complaints said about cabovers…. There are pros and cons for most everything, but some things have many more cons. Are cabovers one of those? Located in lakin ks xxxx0, contact john at xxxx for more details.

Oh man, how I love those old cabovers and the other rigs, especially the Petes. Even the old freight shaker cabovers! When I was a kid, my parents would drive me to the nearest truck stop, so I could take pictures of the big rigs, and talk to the truck drivers.

Most kids wanted to go to the beach, but my favourite thing was to head for a truck stop! Those old White Freightliners would just rattle all the time. I would sleep across the doghouse in my cabover. As a mechanic, I spent a lot of time working on this style of truck. Just love the old school rigs. Drove these trucks for years. But no more please, too uncomfortable.

The first 1,, miles of my driving was in trucks like these. I grew up in a cabover. My first truck was a COE. It was truly a great truck. These gems were a challenge to drive without power steering. Truck had more than a few dents!

Especially love the old Kenworth KE Aerodyne. My Grandpa and my Dad owned several of them. The best trucks ever. I drove a COE for the first ten years or so of my driving career. They were great for maneuvering in tight spots, but not so great to live in for long time periods for over the road trucking. It was hell. It was pretty tiring crawling in and out of it and having to lie down to get dressed! Super trucks for local work, but not well suited for long haul trucking.

I first learned to drive in a cabover. Aahhhh yes, I spent many a day in these. Heck, it reminds me of the good old days when there were way less laws and regs. That was all there was to drive at one time. They were legal and they got the job done. They were quite safe if they were driven with respect. I absolutely love these windows! There is a huge difference in road noise, they are way more solid than factory and so easy to install!
