Cab over / Conventional

A few years ago I drove for a company who had one freightliner argosy cabover pulling a set of A train fuel tanks. It had a little short gear lever like an ancient Bedford TK …it was an odd driving position very high up the strange think about it was when the drivers door opened a set of steps would electronically open …cyclists beware .Cabovers seem to be used only on specialist applications theres not many around anymore .
