While they have a rough ride; and when in a crash the driver is the first thing at the point of impact; these things have nothing to do with why we do not see cab overs any more in the USA. It all has to do with the fact that federal length laws changed. In the past we had total trailer length and overall length laws. Today we only have to deal with trailer length. In truth these over length trucks are only allowed 3 miles from roads that allow these size trucks OR to and from the point of loading/unloading. If you look at a true top of the line truckers atlas you can see these roads are marked by highlighting. If you really start digging into the law you will see that most states do not allow 53' trailers or doubles. It is the federal law that allows us to use these rigs in those states but only on certain roads.
