I was 10 yrs old when I got a ride in one. I wanted to be a truck driver ever since. Became a electrician instead. To late to change career now that I'm 58.
🤣🤣.. good ol CL 9000 .. the " Two Story Better Idea " ... Never failed to make me laugh when I would see one in the winter with the inset grab handles frozen over , and the driver make an " uncontrolled dismount" getting out of the cab .
@Alexander Ratisbona Sorry to have offended you but thats what everyone I know called them back then. I drove one very similar to the one in the video briefly and it wasn't bad, I just didn't like cabovers very much. Having said that, I liked the Freightliner cabovers better than the Ford, Pete, Kw or Internationals that I drove at one time or another.
the same drivetrain could be ordered in most any truck, a lot of old macks had only 5 speeds seems the only people who liked 5 speeds were truck owners who put rookie drivers in them
