Popular Post Bullheaded Posted May 9, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 9, 2020 A long time Canada wide fleet, Manitoulin Transport. The first to have what they termed the "supertrucks" which were all Freightliner cabovers with drom boxes. Then when coe's and the Argosy went away they switched them to FL 114SD's. But today I saw brand new International HV's. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quickfarms Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 Here in the states the drom box would be a house sized sleeper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alex g Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 I remember when they had cabovers set up like that. Used to see them anytime I headed up north. They were so big compared to anything else on road Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxidyne Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 There's a sales opportunity there for any of the truck makers willing to put their US/Canada emissions certified engine into their cabover trucks. But with only four truck makers left in this market, they don't want to be bothered... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brocky Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 When we went to Alaska I reemember noticing the docks in the freight hauler terminals with the dock edge / plate sticking out about 6 foot so that this type of straight truck and B double lead trailers could back under the dock to be loaded / unloaded.. Noticed them as I drove by so sorry no pictures.. Quote Brocky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are "holes" in the front of the building at the dock doors, that the rear tandems and fifth wheel drive in under the dock. They still have many of the Argosy COE's still in service.
