Cabover Trucks look Smart. Conventional Trucks look Retarded. Conventional Trucks look like the engineers put very little effort into the product.
Counterpoint: cabover trucks look like the result of length restrictions (because they are), and are therefore cucked.Real trucks have long noses.
>>29118073length restrictions are there to protect you from yourself. we've all seen truggers have to make a 256 point turn to get down some sidestreet before
>>29118075Commie mindset.
>>29118075>length restrictions are there to protect you from yourselfThanks! I love it when the government feels like it needs to protect me from myself!
>>29118067Could be worse..."Ultra-low cab design for improved aerodynamics and cargo volume" - At the cost of limited visibility for the driver and a complete lack of space for even a rudimentary living area — whoever designed this prototype must have NEVER driven a real semi-truck.
>>29118084this anon is posting from his phone still stuck at a residental intersection he can't fit his truck through
>>29118104sleeper cabs arent as much of a thing in yurop because of the higher density. but also yeah, i cant imagine any actual driver wanting to be below his cargo like that, driving that must create a physical form of actual tangible anxiety that comes out of your butt uncommanded
To me cabover are the conventional trucks.
>>29118116Many European trucks have a sleeping berth or two in the cabin.
>>29118123there are fewer transcontinental routes because muh freight rail. i didnt say they dont exist, just that they are rarer. but also there's still Standardized Containers coming off of ships and rail so thats why theres still articulated truggs at all instead of everything being rigid
>>29118112If he were an actual trucker instead of a steering wheel holder he wouldn't be in the residentials anyway.
>>29118146he is brown and drunk, please understand, he is top 1% human capital hired on H1B and does not have shoes on
>>29118123Why does it have what looks like a landline phone in the bed area?
>>29118155probably hooked up to his radio or satphone, often satellite phones will come with fittings so instead of treating it like a cellphone you can bolt a thing to the wall indoors and have the satphone itself installed somewhere it can actually see the sky
>>29118141There's far more goods moved by truck than by rail in Europe. Rail is more used for passenger transport. Trans-EU routes exist and you'll see truckers from eastern Europe operate across the union.
>>29118141>>29118116Tesla was actively criticized for not including a bed in the Semi.
>>29118182>Muh trains, why don't yanks embrace trains? >No not like THAT!
>>29118182the EU has fallen. billions must choo-choo
>>29118187>Tesla was actively criticized for not including a bed in the Semi.What on earth were they thinking—that they’d build an autonomous truck?
>>29118209>—CAUGHT YA BITCH
>>29118067Cabovers are for tight areas and length restrictions. A conventional setup is better for long distance hauling and heavy haul.Different tools for different jobs.
>>29118295Except a good cabover will haul that lowboy no problem and use less fuel at the same time?
>>29118067We've got both and cabovers just tend to be more modern.
DAF XG trucks interior looks so nice thiugh.
>>29118317Yeah this. Idk if a cabover could do that either. Anyone have the answer?
>>29118365Theres a guy who makes instgram videos driving a DAF truck around Europe and he drives it wearing socks. They dont wear their shoes in rhe truck. Driving that wearing only socks seems sorta crazy though
>>29118317The longer wheelbase of a conventional layout rides smoother and is more comfortable in the cab because you're not sitting on top of the engine. It also offers more flexibility for moving the fifth wheel plate around and getting your axle weights correct. Cabovers have their place but don't be dumb and act like they should be used for everything - like people who spam "van vs. pickup" threads
