When was the last time you actually saw one of those flat-faced semi trucks with the driver sitting right on top of the engine cruising down the highway?
In this video, we explore the fascinating rise and sudden disappearance of American cab-over trucks - those distinctive flat-faced giants that once dominated our highways. From their innovative beginnings in the 1940s to their peak when they captured 35% of the heavy-duty truck market, to their rapid decline after 1982, this is the story of how changing regulations, driver preferences, and economics killed an American trucking icon. Discover why these engineering marvels that solved crucial length restrictions became extinct almost overnight, and what their demise teaches us about innovation, adaptation, and the trucking industry's evolution.
