Moving the engine out front makes the trucks a lot more comfortable. The interior is more roomy. They are quieter. It’s easier to access the sleeper and with the cab mounted lower there is a lot less sway.

True, but cargo capacity trumped driver comfort. (My grandfather drove a COE OTR for 30 years). If the choice was a 53' trailer and a cab over, or a 48' trailer and a conventional cab, a company is going to choose the cabover every day. For my grandfather that was the difference between hauling 1 piece of equipment or two. (He drove for Case)
