Why American Trucks Are Worse Than European Trucks

Trucking in America looks very different to trucking in Europe. In Europe all trucks are "flat nose" or "cabover" trucks. In America all trucks are "long nose". This makes trucks in America much longer and more difficult to drive than European trucks. But European trucks innovated to make trucking easier for truck drivers. In this video I explain why European trucks are better than American trucks. Want to support the channel? Go to my Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/Nicomotor Enjoy this kind of content?
