Question: What is better, Cab over design or engine in front?
Everyone has listed their likes and dislikes about both... I for the most part, I agree. Cab overs are harder to get in and out of and unless it's a newer style COE (cab over engine) with a flat floor, they are a pain in the butt to live in. You have to get use to laying down to put your pants on. They are more maneuverable in tight places, but the ride in most cases is much worse than a conventional. Some COE's (International and Freightliner) have a set-back front axle design that make them ride pretty decent, but for the long haul most drivers like to have that 3500 pound engine out in front of them to slow down anything that they might hit. There is an old saying.... "If you drive a cab over, you are the first one to the scene of the accident." ...

you need to hear this song by a band called Deadbolt. Here's the lyrics
Truck Drivin S.O.B. by Deadbolt
Two antique dealers in a SUV, proceeded to cut me off
I followed them downtown to one of them…artists lofts
one of the guys came to the door, he said "Hi, you must be Mitch"
I said "no". I punched him in the teeth and said, "I'm a truck driving son of a bitch"
aw yeah..
Truck driving son of a bitch
Truck driving son of a bitch
Chain smokin', baby chokin'
Truck driving son of a bitch
The new waitress she gave me the eye at Greasy Bob's come on in
Took her home to a honkey-tonk, next thing we're checking into the Spring Days Inn in the morning she says I love you Hank, then she starts to twitch. I said sorry baby, gotta go, 'cuz I'm a truck driving son of a bitch.
I'm a truck driving son of a bitch
I'm a pill-poppin', mutton chop wearn’
truck driving son of a bitch
A chicken fried, steak eatin'
truck driving son of a bitch
A five dollar shower, nudie girl happy hour
truck driving son of a bitch
Drinkin' beer at my favorite bar, the Chrome Nudie Girl Inn
Truckers don't like shuttle bus drivers and a slew of them walked
Rather drink with a smokey bear and get the hemorrhoid itch
Me and Bob beat the shit out of them 'cause I'm truck driving son of a bitch
Truck driving son of a bitch
I'm a truck driving son of a bitch
A sideburn wearin', redman chewin'
Truck driving son of a bitch
Thema and Lousie hatin’
Truck driving son of a bitch
Truck driving son of a bitch
Truck driving son of a bitch
Chain smokin', CB jokin'
truck driving son of a bitch
I'm a truck driving son of a bitch
come on over and slap me in my face cuz Im a truck driving son of a bitch
I'm a truck driving son of a bitch
Gear shiftin', chicken lickin'
truck driving son of a bitch
Hey I thought you where a girl with all that hair. Where you goin' boy?
Hey dude. I'm goin' to a folk festival in Aspen!
Oh yeah, no kiddin'? Get the fuck out of my truck.
