Cab over / Conventional

Back years ago there was an overall length, from trailer bumper to tractor bumper, for artics. Trucking companies wanted to pull the longest trailer they could, usually 45’ so they had to use a cabover to stay under the limit. Now the length of the trailer is more the limiting factor so you can have a hood pulling it and companies started buying them in order to attract drivers. I don’t think it makes much difference which one you drive with regards to accidents but driving a cabover does make you more inclined not to run into something as your right up front. :open_mouth:
