FSC Trucking drives a COE Detroit powered Peterbuilt named Orwell. Most always a double drop deck pulling some kind of wide load.

Those 'Day-cabs' are pretty popular around here for hauling grain.

Lots of cabovers in my area . Mostly farmers for grain at harvest time, short trips. See a couple hauling cattle going North and South on Hwy 77 and occasionally on I-80 .   I put less then 400 miles a year on mine. Havent driven the ol gal in 7 months.

1981 Transtar Brougham belonging to Troy Link of MI

 

That truck is from my neck of the woods. Seen it sitting in sitting in the a lot on the South Side of Homer.

They used to be popular with farmers here when the older grain elevators were tight on turn around space. They were short frame though.  Those long frames do away with the COE's only advantage! Also I think they could buy them cheap!

This one belongs to the carnies at the Cherry Co fair.

Snapped pic going into rodeo and meant to get a better one but forgot.

Anyways. Filled up the frame with box.

Looks like close to same wheelbase

I remember a lot of these out in CA 

Likely the source of some of these long frame cab overs
