The best was an early/mid-90's Pete cabover that had a "front" with the slightest V-shape to it. Subtle.

I agree on the cabover being way more aero than a conventional. I get the worst drafts from a cabover pulling triples, the best from a conventional logging truck. I measure the "quality" of the draft with the scan gauge, watching instant mpg over a long flat spot. I've gotten absolutely spectacular drafts way back behind a logging truck. Woo, it's almost like free fuel.
