COE

I know of one Argosy out there in the EO world, but anyone else running a COE, maybe like a 9800 international?

What are your thoughts on ride and confort of your COE?

promise no more dumb questions today.

I test drove a Arogosy several years ago, and the ride wasn't that bad. Still not as good as a conventional even with the air ride on the front axle.
In the old Roberts days, we had several KW VIT100 aerodyne cabovers.
You still see a few out there. They were alittle rough riding but had great capacity. We had 26 foot boxes on those.

Tripping thru Canada you see a lot of COE's. There's even one posted in the Free Classifieds for sale. I spoke with a Freightliner dealer about a Argosy for a expediter and his experience was that with the long frame and weight on the back, the ride on newer models would be exceptional. Intend to keep looking into a COE, think that would be the way to go.

Most of the COE's in Canada are run by moving companies. Boat haulers like to use them too.
I understand there will no longer be a COE built for the North American market as Freightliner is going to or has stopped production of the Argosy.
