how different are they to european trucks?

Quite a bit all conventionals are a bit narrower than a cabover but the sleepers are much bigger. They aren't as soundproofed as a modern euro truck more like a truck from the early '90s. They have jakes which is great😎😎👌. They are bigger, that hood is nearly 7' long and 53' trailers unless you're running trains.
No tacho👍🏻👍🏻 and its restricted to 65mph.
