Quickfarms Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 With Covid 19 shutting down all of the shows the old trucks just need to be be driven.

70mackMB Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 I've seen several this summer on 93 & 89 in NH. They have been out of Canada hauling lumber south and logs back home. There is an International pulling a belt trailer around the Concord/Manchester area. .....Hippy hippy 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/64325-seeing-more-cabovers/#findComment-461245 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post mrgumby Posted September 25, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted September 25, 2020 (edited) Maybe there’s a new cab over club we don’t know about. Saw a couple more today one looked like an old Werner tractor. It just seems like this summer they are coming out to play. I like it. Don’t now how you guys snap pics cause I can’t do it that fast.

doubleclutchinweasel Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 Maybe everybody is trying to resurrect all the pre-emission trucks they can find, but most of the conventionals are already gone, and all that is left are the cabovers??? 2 Quote "Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines."
