    In Europe we´ve got theese super low trucks with very slim low profile tires too, they are called lowliners, and also got super flat fith wheels, to get 120" of inside hight of the semitrailer instead of 110" only with standard trailers.

      @@davidsesona4156As I understand some of them are produced (as parts) in the US and then shipped down under and assembled down under. And they have retained some of the 90s COE look that you saw in the US in the 90s - obviously with some design upgrades to look more modern. I love the American conventional long hood trucks, but as a European I also like the Cabover design. Especially those you saw back in the 90s USA/Canada. And now those American cabover you see in Australia/New Zealand with their American styling

    These trucks had lower tires to get under low bridges. Taller trailers. Short wheel base navigating in the urban areas.
    This truck might have been used for hauling spec loads. Heavy loads, 14 foot trailers in texas and washington state.
    The argosy curtainside autohauler averaged 7 miles per gallon. That i drove. Series 60 2001 15 liter 10 speed.
    All centuries, argosy and columbias that i drove all had an air operated tilt wheel. Mercedes owns freightliner.. hence the engineering.
    This truck might have been speced for 57 foot 14 high trailers hauling paper in washington state or texas.
    And yes there are places that have truck and other speed limits.
