    Cab-over trucks were more common in the US in the past. I remember this, too. I had toy trucks when I was a kid and they were all the snub-nose design. Interestingly, school buses seem to have gone the opposite way. When I was a kid, they had the long nose, but now most that I see are snub-nosed. Does anyone know the term for those little "hopper" trucks that are used at ports and large post offices and such? The ones where the cab of the tractor trailer only exists on the left or right side of the tractor? I've heard that since they don't travel on public roads that they aren't subjected to environmental or safety rules.

      Yard tractors or terminal tractors. Sometimes called "yard dogs"
