Another Odd / Bad Test Question...

I'm thinking "D". If it had COE tractor as a choice, then B and D.

It does have COE as a choice.

You can't even get a "conventional cab" truck in the EU - height and weight restrictions. The sleepers are TINY. Much as we whine here in the US - think of how cramped you'd be in one of THESE...

Rick,
I was just using the convoluted logic that they had "tractor" after conventional but not after COE. Did they ever give the correct answer when the test was done?

Ya know, Freightliner makes Cab Overs in their factory in Cleveland NC.

Though in extreme cases, Europeans may use a foldable truck:

I think you can only get the FL COE's as "glider kits" here in the states? The Argosy is actually a pretty neat unit. They're not sold by FL dealers though.

Return Of The Truck That Never Went Away

I've seen a couple of custom coach builders use them as the base.

I saw the yard guys driving them around while I was there. I believe they are actually export models.

What is a COE?

Cab Over Engine (or simply Cab-Over). Old style.

We had these for yard trucks in school. You sit ON THE WHEEL (and engine) - doubt they'd be much fun OTR. Still the mainstay in much of Europe. There's some floating around here - a lot of them are lovingly restored and cared for...

I’ve ridden in one, and the yard uses them to move trailers, I’ve just always heard cab over, not COE or cab over engine.
