One issue for a vehicle allowed in traffic is that ypu typically can't have things sticking too far out of the vehicle in any direction lest someone drives into them. Thus long haulage is put on long beds, even when not very heavy.
Advantages of long beds is also that you can better secure your load along the length, can use standardised vehicles and parts, as well as have an easier time with load balancing and view management.
Aksually If you hang a red flag off of it. It becomes legal.
As someone else already mentioned, these do exist but you don't see them on the road because it usually easier to just get a bigger truck without all the quirks.
Don't you hate it when you have a genius idea, only to find out someone else thought of it long ago? Nice try, Einstein. Back to the sandbox.
It could probably hold 3-4 pallets, if it wasn't a drawing
Would be perfekt for jousting, if it wasn’t a drawing
The drivetrain doesn't have a place to live. The nose of a truck holds the guts, freeing up space for load in the other half. Moving the guts to a cab-over would shrink the available engine size. Having all the power train to one side would require entirely new engineering to have 2 double length axles with no counter spinning force, so torque on the frame would twist the chassis up at the far point like a lever.
Or it would be underpowered to prevent it, effectively a kei truck engine in a full sized truck body. It is going to work much harder in some way to be as successful as existing trucks.
If it were electric, you could put the battery on the bed side.
You could easily squeeze 200 horsepower into a vehicle of this size.

Reminds me of this absolute monstrosity
In a collision, you are much safer if you are facing backwards because your spine aligns with the back of the seat instead of you rag-dolling forwards. So turn those seats around, too. The design is very human.
You can get this functionality by driving a hatchback and putting the passenger seat down. Those cars fit way more than you would think.
If this appeals to you then check out the Telo truck
Another case where vans are the superior utility vehicle: strap your long stuff onto your roof rack.

Funny. I was thinking how cool it would be if an EV truck with a frunk had a midgate, fold down front passenger seat, and ability to open the dash somehow to pass though very long things into trunk area.
The Bollinger B1 and B2 were supposed to have exactly that. A central passthrough all the way from the back of the bed to the front bumper. You would have been able to haul 20' lumber entirely within the vehicle.
Of course, their $125k price point for a no-frills electric work truck was twice as much as three-row luxury SUV pretty much doomed them from the start. If they had targeted a price point suitable for fleet operations, we'd all be driving them.
I did recall vaguely something like that, but couldn't remember what it was, thanks for that.
But absolutely, especially if you had something like a 4.5 foot bed normally, but between frunk pass through and tailgate with load stop you could carry some 16 foot long planks... Something you might rarely need to do and not with a lot of planks, so a huge bed is pointless most of the time.
