Conventional truck

A conventional Kenworth W900

A conventional truck is a type of truck with its engine in front of the driver (much like in a typical car), as opposed to underneath with no nose like in a cab over. This model is the most popular for American truckers. The design gives the driver more leg room and a smoother ride. These models of semi-trucks hold their re-sale value much better than the cab-over engine models. The conventional trucks include Peterbilt, Mack, Freightliner, Western Star, Volvo Trucks (usa), International, and Caterpillar. ^{[citation needed]}
