Some forward-control trucks have their cabs set actually in front of the engine instead of over it, which makes it easier to climb in and out, but they're still mostly found on special applications such as aircraft ground support, heavy cranes and fire engines.
Engine access is not so bad at all on most tilt-cab trucks, and actually neither in those small Asian trucklets that have just an under-seat hatch for engine access.

That's a downside, but it doesn't prevent COE trucks to become prevalent in a worldwide basis nowadays.
The ride doesn't really get so bad at all.
