This is a bit counter intuitive, but Euro style cabovers are much quieter inside than a 'conventional'. Plus cabovers can have air spring suspension, they're often more comfortable. The downside is much less space inside, which is a big deal for the long haul drivers in the states, whereas in europe, they rarely do more than a month at a time.

AFAIK nothing precludes having air bags on conventionals, it’s just optional / uncommon whereas it’s completely expected on euro trucks.
