Conventional truck

Conventional truck
A conventional Kenworth

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.[citation needed]
