That would be great. I don’t know if the aging American rail infrastructure that is already being utilized would be able to handle it. It would be a big ticket item that Congress would need to pass… Oh well that was a fun though experiment.

To be fair the regulations on vehicle length and older infrastructure makes the cabover popular.

American style trucks(long nose) get better mileage on longer hauls than the blunt nose design. They also provide more cabin room. As a final note American audiences are conditioned for the long nose design and it’s difficult to find the imports here.

Having driven both I think they both have merit. In Europe an American truck would be impossible to maneuver in towns.

So that’s the “real reason for it”.

If you have a moment I would love to talk to you about a rich investment opportunity best know as artisanal gourds. Not since Blockbuster has the soil been so rich and the climate been so perfect for artisanal gourds. If you act now I have a bridge that is heavily discounted we can discuss.

Henry Kissinger

To be fair he said a lot of things including:

It is not a matter of what is true that counts, but a matter of what is perceived to be true.
