The Kenworth cabover trucks became popular across North America from the 1950s through the 1980s, especially with freight carriers like Pacific Intermountain Express (PIE). Designed to maximize trailer length while meeting strict road laws, cabovers placed the engine beneath the cab for a shorter overall footprint. Many were powered by Cummins or Detroit Diesel engines producing up to 400 horsepower. Drivers valued their maneuverability in cities and tight loading docks, while trucking companies relied on them for long-haul freight efficiency before conventional long-nose trucks became dominant.
