After the wreck I had in 2001, you will not even get me to move a cab over across the parking lot.
An idiot in a pickup truck pulled over onto an icy shoulder, spun out, lost control, and came right across two lanes to end up right in front of me with no place to go. Had I been in a cab over, I would probably not be here to type this.
As a point of information, though, there are advantages as well as disadvantages to cab overs. 1) they are generally shorter wheelbase. That allows them into spots that may not have been accessible in a conventional. 2) they are generally rough riding. They beat you to death! 3) Visibility is both better and worse at the same time. The driver sits higher in a cab over, giving a wider field of vision, but there is a huge blind spot from about just in front of the driver's seat all the way around to the right side. Anything within 15 feet of the cab is invisible - right in the blind spot. Claw mirrors help. 4) a conventional tractor with a set back front axle will go anyplace a cab over will go for the most part.
