Thanks! I went through it again with the same interest! But, one again, why do the Yankees stick to their ridiculously small cabs?Having driven both euro/ aero/ traditional, I take a trad Pete every time as a solo driver not so much as a team though
Similar reasons as before but also
significantly more stable in windy weather
virtually no cab roll no matter how hard you hit the the go pedal around bends…
superior/ better ride over rough roads and also in general mainly due to the set forward axle…I always thought Volvo vn670’ s were way overated btw with new driver/ beginners set back axle position…euro canoes can’t match them eithet
better central view of road ahead…think tesla semi
easier to clear passenger side window if required,
reach glove box easy
stored my bag on the passenger seat, or if with female company other things ahem
weight control, if I started getting fat I couldnt get into the sleeper lol
quicker to heat/ cool with sleeper curtain drawn
makes you reverse like a pro, not with your head out the window like dummy who passed the test yesterday
quicker to clean the full windscreen
most important looks/ felt like driving a piece of Americana heritage which I enjoyed every time I drove it, job sait’s faction is very important don’t underestimate it…
ticks the schoolboy dream of driving a truck from convoy and other period films…don’t underestimate that either
not many UK guys will ever get the chance to drive one, which also means they often slag them off accordingly
Perhaps a few more things too but fed up of typing now lol
Wasn’t safety another reason? When in a full on collision, the changes of walking away are a bit better?
