Similar in concept to the Australian bus (bottom pic) you linked to the other day, except the tractor unit is much taller on this one so it's not at all clear where the driver sat.

I assume that the Santa Fe driver is somewhere around the 3rd window (look for mirrors), and the australian guy probably at front center, if that line on the windshield is the steering wheel. Anyway, LOTS of space required for turns.
