DFT-30

Most trucking fans agree that Cab & Trailer is the highest form of trucking in the world. That being the case, non-articulated trucks are a part of that world and as such, deserve respect, and in some cases, adoration.

 Most people know the DFT-30 as the flatbed workhorse of the trucking world. A COE (Cab-Over-Engine) configured, non-articulated truck most commonly seen as a flatbed hauler. Pictured above is a DFT-30 outside of the Camel's Toe Casino.

What most people don't know is that the DFT-30 is the undisputed Stunt King of the trucking world. Despite what would seem like a non-aerodynamic appearance, the DFT-30 is an impressive flyer.

Sometimes landings can be a challenge.

I have nothing against them, but whenever I see one, I always have to wonder about what kind of person chooses to drive one ( especially outside of Europe where there are far fewer length restrictions ). Well, the Jobuilt Hauler is the most popular articulated COE format in San Andreas. Here is a beauty driving at sunrise near the coast. On a freeway run. I guess the shorter length can help with treacherous mountain passes. I admit she is good looking in her own way. Like all truckers and all trucks, the man who was born2truck can experience some issues while driving, even in the short-length COE Jobuilt Hauler.
