COE Adventures

For whatever reason, I always seem to think that COE setups are a little different. 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.

Most trucking fans agree that Cab & Trailer is the highest form of trucking in the world.

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.

Some people forget about the unsung heroes of the trucking world, including this COE (Cab-Over-Engine) beauty: the Trashmaster .  A couple dozen tons of steel and hydraulics gets you a top-of-the-line garbage hauler. Nothing feels quite so good as shifting this beast through all 16 gears while making the steep ascent of an urban hill laden with reeking refuse. You never know what you'll find sometimes. An issue of Muff and the Mule , one of El Burro's monthly masterpieces of tastefully shot adult photoseries.
