What are the differences in driving techniques between flat-nose and long-nose trucks?

[VanBradley]

Driving techniques are the same, but visibility and sense of direction differ. Advantages of long-nose trucks: Long-nose trucks are relatively cheaper, easier to maintain and repair, have more spacious cabs (providing greater comfort), and offer higher safety for drivers. With the engine positioned at the front, noise, vibration, and heat are not directly transmitted to the cab. Advantages of flat-nose trucks: Higher efficiency, lower fuel consumption, reduced emissions, and lighter weight. For vehicles of the same total length, the cargo compartment of a long-nose truck is smaller than that of a flat-nose truck. The visibility from the cab of a long-nose truck is inferior to that of a flat-nose truck. Flat-nose trucks have higher steering sensitivity and relatively lower damage rates.
