I think you’re right about this guy. On top of that I wonder if this dip ever drove a truck or even just rode in one. The first truck I drove was a 69 Freighter. It was a good truck and I don’t remember not being able to see what was around me. Just like with guns, it’s not the truck it’s the driver.
I drove gmc, freightliner, and international cab overs. I had zero issues. This video shows a light truck brake caliper and rotors when talking about ford. Since when is an Autocar A series a cabover? Mack ms driver fatigue isn't because of driver comfort it's because the driver was doing more than just driving they were/are constantly getting in and out a lot more physical activity.
I'm lost for words. This video makes absolutely no sense. Cab overs lost interest, basically cause of relaxing length laws in the US. They are still mainstream in Europe and popular in Australia. I've drove both. I really like COE. Great visability imo. We can argue to the death on conv vs COE. All trucks can be dangerous or fail based on what the narrator is describing. In addition it's not even realistic to compare 2024 to 1970.
Thank u for this until I checked the comments I was fully invested in his statements. I’m interested in getting my CDL’s do you know where I could get better information
@@melvinhenderson6881.. A) There is no "plural" in CDL.. (no "s"), it's just CDL..

Because you will "pay double" the cost.. A school, or C.C. charges an "average" of $4,500.. At a trucking company, you will drive at a very low "wage per mile", until that (?) $8,000-$9000 is "paid off".. sometimes lasting "over a year". You are better off getting a tuition loan, and getting higher pay "from the start"..👍🚛
Th I s guy doesn't know what he is talking about. Always complaining about the brake systems that are still in use today only lately have air disc brakes and abs. Than he talks about blind spots there is alot better viz in a Coe than a long hood. I guess he is comparing trucks of yesteryear to these new fugly droop snoot trucks
Bullshit, trucks coming into freight business like gangbusters and railroad barons keeping the “overall length of highway trucks DOWN”. They kept double bottom trailers out of Minnesota for years. So, they finally settled with a federal plan to forget overall length, it’s the trailer length! A 40 ft trailer is long enough! It went up over 40 or so years to 53 ft van, we just got 3 53 ft flat beds, and have 30 or so 51 ft drop decks. The greedy folks in charge are pushing for 57 ft vans. I’m 85, drive most days, and witnessed it all.
@@MarkBerg-tk8js congratulations, still trucking at 85,,,I retired at 70,and was bored as hell,my son gave me a T660 KW so I can get outta the house and stretch my legs,,,in the left lane of course
I drove real White freightliners on IT on Inrtnational Transport out of Rochester Mn 1964 65 and 66. They were a wonderful rig. 4 Ana a 4 behind a 350 and 380 Commins motor. Drivers from CF had a lot of input in their design. We passed the super chief climbing outa L a up to the high desert, train went by us like we were up on jacks goin east down the desert!
That's b******* how do I want them for years that I owned I never had a problem with any cab over and I had the kenmore's international and Freightliner
As a Mechanic from 1978 foward ,,, I loved Cabovers , With the Cab up it made all engine work and twin clutch plate work way easier , loved those Cabovers
This is total B.S! I have been riding with my dad and driving lots of them myself and still have one today! Everyone is intitled to there own opinions mine is I miss seeing them on a daily basis!😊
I had 6 Astros they were built before self adjusting brakes like every other truck of the time regular adjustment was needed like on every other truck of the time and gmc Astros used the exact same windshields as the gmc greyhound bus the windshield are huge a visibility is one of the plus features of all cabovers
If you use a truck right its not lethal, if you dont have common sense thats what makes it lethal, just because the trucks are built a certian way doesnt mean anything, its the driver behind the whell that matters
When I was growing up my dad had nothing but mack cabovers.I spent tons of road tips in these trucks growing up. I love cabovers. That's all I am going to say.
As a former sales.manager with Freightliner trucks for about 35 years,.this an obviously does not understand trucking 😅 Get some training before you load all thes COE in one video
Obviously new age bs I'm 60 been driving since 18 and have owned and drove all these trucks. these trucks were well built, durable, and dependable. There were fewer wrecks then than there are today. It's a true crime to put out such erroneous doctrine to the younger generations because they are feed lies and will never know the truth.
The cab over's, had excelent vision over the front of the truck. What made them dangerous, was they had no crumple zone for a front accident. Overwise, they were very good.
Huh. Interesting perspective about "limited visibility". I drove a cabover a bit, and always felt I had BETTER visibility than I did in a conventional, due to the higher seat position and an unblocked view in the front 🤔
Many of these cabovers were spring ride and most trailers were spring suspension leading to a very rough ride causing many back issues for the drivers and fleet trucks had no power steering the k100 was mostly used by owner operators and had air ride power steering and button tuck interiors usually higher horse power .
Geez, saying that their systems aged is pretty common. All systems age and are prone to breakdown over time. Also saying that their safety systems do not meet today's is sort of a given for any vehicle. AutoCar was a conventional, not a cabover.
He has not been there in those beautiful trucks because the longer hood truck makes it harder to judge the distance in front of you so I am saying you can not criticize if you have not been there
OMFG! I'm not an American, not even a truck driver, but even I can tell this video was put together by A.I. and such a pile of BS content it is! Almost all of these trucks were brilliant for their time!
LMAO!!! I have driven COE all over the country and Canada and never ever had one issue and that was years ago. The oldest a 69’ Freightliner, the only issue was interior noise and I’m still walking to tell about it. All this video is about is to put fear in those who never drove one.
Nothing wrong with the KW or Peterbilt as well as the International. The Mack that was shown was a Scania import.I worked for a LTL company that bought Nissan Cabover trucks for city use that were the most unsafe vehicles on the roads, bad brakes poor power and rode worse than a buckboard.
The biggest reason they are gone is accessiblity by huge fat people, they cannot climb in, and fall out climbing down. Maintenance was a breeze compared to the Volvo Russian apartment models, clutch/transmission/ engine had complete access from a shop floor.
American lorries are years behind most of the European models. To say that the F series Volvo was unreliable shows how much the author knows which is zero. Lots of present day Volvo lorries with the D13 engine are easily capable of 1.5 million kilometers without any problems at all. Like all trucks, all over the place, the main problems are caused by the emission control systems
Obviously not a driver. Also he had almost every coe on this list! I'm also thinking that he really doesn't understand what a cab over truck is because the autocar is considered a conventional. This is why I think that for transportation secretary they should hire Blue Collar workers THAT HAVE DONE THE JOBS FOR YEARS!
Had 379 pete loaded west of donner pass on I 80 flip over V.W.bug drove into front window mask on cab & kill driver, had a fln c.o.e. on us 50 spooner summit droping into carson city NV.lost brakes fliped over on passenger side driver fell in passenger seat area & guard rair riper right side of cab off with driver (died ) the door on driver side was good it opened & closed . It just drpende on the wreck & where you are a couple of feet can be the difference between life & death.
I came up in cabovers in particularly the K100 I have never had a better truck also for a long time I drove the old International TranStar before they went away and I still own an old White Freightliner with a very first truck I bought bought it in the year 2000 it was a 1974 from time to time I still drive it call a big load of hay or some oversized all of these were mechanical and yes you had to take the time to do the work but they weren't complicated much better than than what we have now this guy has absolutely no clue what he is talking about and for the record I always want to be the first one on the scene in an accident
I drove the GMC / freightliner/ western star cabovers / did not like the GMC because of the none split windshield.also was in the old 1960 Mack's / Ford's and the GMC day can cabovers
Are you serious? The problems this commentator is speaking off happens in today’s trucks as well. Do you really believe that the FLB has greater blind spots at the front corner than some newer trucks? He is obviously not familiar with trucking.
What a load of BS. these so called problems can apply to any motor vehicle. I drove most of these rigs over the years and had none of these problems. Driver error causes most accidents.
This narrator doesn't know what he is talking about, making it sound worse than what it really is. The Government made those cabovers worse than what the are. I drove a cabover for several years. My 1st cabover was a IH 4040 with a 671 Detroit.
Any truck can be deadly if you have no commo9n sense,
That's the problem, there is no common sense, and most folks have no clue what that means.
Cabovers actually had better visibility and just about everything else they said in this video was bs
He's obviously NOT a truck driver
I thought about trucking but nervous at the same time
Obviously, because this was all bs
You don't know what you are talking about
Your statement are b.s. the K-100 is one of the most comfortable coe to drive ..
that does not make it safe
@@londolly He said in the video that it was not comfortable as well...
....aaannd you believe "everything" this video says, right..?😂
Where did this P.O.S get his Information??😮
Chad Wallace's apartment.
That is the biggest lie
You have the same visability concerns with standard long nose trucks. I can see you hate cabovers.

I call bs on this all these were built before tech was involved
I'm lost for words. This video makes absolutely no sense. Cab overs lost interest, basically cause of relaxing length laws in the US. They are still mainstream in Europe and popular in Australia.

You are so right my man this guy just an mouth runner
how is the auto car a coe
I'm not a truck driver and I didn't believe what this guy was saying. Then it read the comments and saw that I was right.
This AI has no clue what it what it is talking about nor the programer.
This person have a special dislike for cabover trucks........ Why Sir ?
AI can be programed to say anything.
Probably Scott Carroll
Totally bs you can get killed in any truck
Nice kw100
You are running down American trucks and showing foreign trucks. You’re talking through your a*. .
Best trucks ever made was the old cab over
This is so misleading
Loool! Come in Europe to see and drive our trucks, we only have cabover and they're doing very well! 👌
We were better truck drivers 40 -50 years ago.
I agree. But don’t knock today’s generation they have better days then others 😂

Gosh an old timer for sure......when 335 and 318 Detroits were the most common. Occasionally a 1693 cat or v12 Detroit for the big strappers
Where is the picture of the Autocar cab over ?
What a load of BS.
What a load of rubbish this person obviously knows nothing about trucks.
This is all BS . This dude is misinformed.
That's b******* how do I want them for years that I owned I never had a problem with any cab over and I had the kenmore's international and Freightliner
What a crock
Then why are you showing videos of trucks and things that have nothing to do with the truck you’re talking about this video sucks
As a Mechanic from 1978 foward ,,, I loved Cabovers , With the Cab up it made all engine work and twin clutch plate work way easier , loved those Cabovers
He needs to check the facts.
I miss seeing them on the road
Who's mans is this
This is total B.S! I have been riding with my dad and driving lots of them myself and still have one today! Everyone is intitled to there own opinions mine is I miss seeing them on a daily basis!😊
How to prove you don't have ANY knowledge about trucks at all 😂😂😂😂

Give me a cab over anyday. Then a long nose see way more.
If you use a truck right its not lethal, if you dont have common sense thats what makes it lethal, just because the trucks are built a certian way doesnt mean anything, its the driver behind the whell that matters
BS video, the Europeans are just doing fine.
This dude has his facts totally all wrong. I drove pretty much every Cabover out and I never experienced these defects he's describing.

As a former sales.manager with Freightliner trucks for about 35 years,.this an obviously does not understand trucking 😅 Get some training before you load all thes COE in one video
Meant this individual
The Volvo V88 and F89 should be in the video not the F10
I started driving 35 years ago and I started in k 100 loved it looking for a nother one
This guy is a wazzel doesn't no nothing there trucks and thats that
This guy doesn't have a clue what he is talking about
Best of all time
Marmon wasn't mentioned ! True hand built truck.
Wondered if the Marmon would be on the list.
My (late) best friend drove a Marmon for many years.
He was buried wearing his Marmon belt buckle.
Obviously new age bs I'm 60 been driving since 18 and have owned and drove all these trucks. these trucks were well built, durable, and dependable. There were fewer wrecks then than there are today. It's a true crime to put out such erroneous doctrine to the younger generations because they are feed lies and will never know the truth.
It's a shame that other tractor manufacturers around the world, apart from US tractor manufacturers, haven't learned about this information.
Pick 10 cab over trucks at random, talk sh*t about them. End of video.
The truck even being a COE was obviously optional too, despite the title...
I drove cab overs all most all of my trucking live. Which was 49 years. And never had any of the problems this dude was talking about.
Volvo is nice 😢❤
The cab over's, had excelent vision over the front of the truck. What made them dangerous, was they had no crumple zone for a front accident. Overwise, they were very good.
Bulshit you're describing every goddamn truck on the road which keep getting worse with all the electronics and computers
😮the commenter is definitely not a trucker and probably got his info from a disgruntled rookie drive that started his trucking career in a cabover
Huh. Interesting perspective about "limited visibility". I drove a cabover a bit, and always felt I had BETTER visibility than I did in a conventional, due to the higher seat position and an unblocked view in the front 🤔
Yea I remember laying down to get dressed Had to open the door to get my boots on and off
Many of these cabovers were spring ride and most trailers were spring suspension leading to a very rough ride causing many back issues for the drivers and fleet trucks had no power steering the k100 was mostly used by owner operators and had air ride power steering and button tuck interiors usually higher horse power .
My only problem with the cab over, was vibrating, especially when sleeping , it might just have been my old freight liner. Please comment.
The eagle cab overs are kinda sweet
Geez, saying that their systems aged is pretty common. All systems age and are prone to breakdown over time. Also saying that their safety systems do not meet today's is sort of a given for any vehicle. AutoCar was a conventional, not a cabover.

The biggest issue in the cl9000 was the split cab, it rocked so bad in corners is what made it handle poorly and made it dangerous

I drove the GMC / freightliner/ western star cabovers / did not like the GMC because of the none split windshield.also was in the old 1960 Mack's / Ford's and the GMC day can cabovers
The autocorrect a I drove were triple frame 60k rears made to haul 150,000 lb loads aĺl day long
Damn spellcheck I wrote AUTOCAR
When did the CL 9000,use Five lug rotors,this is like the National Enquirer of truck information,no need check any facts here.
I guess all the European trucks are not safe either?? They are predominantly cab over
Excuse my British ignorance- isn't the Autocar a conventional truck?
Lmfao 😅 this guy couldn't drive his finger up his 🎉 drive lots off cabover trucks love em
Just put something together with false information...😂😂😂😂
Why are you showing maintenance on regular cars VS commercial equipment.... This guy clearly knows nothing about tractor-trailers
Total BS
