cool! I've never seen one like it...its boxy, but I like it.
I like how the platform is on the roof, and the full lightbar can be shown on the front...

Notice only the first rear axle is powered! I wonder if the rear most axle is steerable, possibly even a lift axle, or even both!

The rear Axle of this one is a steering tag axle.
