There used to be one of these that was a tandem that hauled coal out of the coal mine behind my house back in the 70's here in deep Southern Illinois. The old man that owned it kept it in really good shape and when he passed away his son sold it for scrap and they parted it out and crushed it back in the early 90's. That was a damn shame.
My dad and his Brother were the first sleeper team with Pilot Freight Carriers in Winston Salem in 1947 til about 1950. Cigarettes and furniture to New York and New Jersey. Mama thought the cab would come loose and fall forward while one of them was in the sleeper. I believe it had a 185 Cummins with a 5 and 2 transmission.
Hi, these are my trucks! kind of funny to see them on TH-cam. Thanks for that dingus8888. The Blue White 4464TDL just started probably 3 minutes before this video was shot so the louvers stay closed until it comes up to operating temperature. I saw you taking the video so I stepped on it to let her bark! It was even louder because the stack was off from the trailer ride up to MA.
I started driving trucks back in '66, I used to think it was "Heaven" to drive a 4464 TDL and not a 260 Brockway gasoline engined tractor. I started doing local work for a Refrigerated Hauler pulling "Frozen Seafood" from the local NYC, NY Piers to the refrigerated warehouses in the area, we would load a 38' Reefer trailer with 1100 boxes of frozen shrimp, (about 63 pounds per box with the ice) on a single axle Brockway, (tires hitting the trailer) in Brooklyn NY and drive to the Freezer Houses in Jersey City NY, and elsewhere, again with a 65,000 pound payload on a 4 axle unit, even when you got it rolling at about 45 mph stopping it was a whole other story:-)
we had a 62 snub nose jimmy with a 6v71 that pulled a trailer dump and a 35 ton schertzer lowbed, hauled d8s,666 koehrings t.d.25s no p.s. or maxibrakes! u lost air on a hill you were screwed cus that detroit ran backwards as easy as it would run forward! truck drivers back then were a tough breed of talented men who risked their lives daily for a dollar an twenty cents an hour. no d.o.t. bad brakes,be careful, if you wouldnt drive it another man would take your job gladly! bosses were ruthless!
Cute old Whites! Obviously Cummins powered. Sound like old naturally-aspirated NH series engines. I prefer them to have Detroit 2 stroke power, but the old Cummins' bring back alot of fond childhood memories too.
i really like that blue one.i still dont know how guys use to run those 3000s cross country,if any old school truckers see this,please tell me what it was like.im always up for a good ol truckin story
those conventional whites pulled a lot of trailer dumps and fuel tankers in their day, guys would buy them with a million miles on em put on a wet system and haul big weight for another ten years, old freight terminal trucks no p.s. no maxis 10 spd roadrangers with 220 or 250 cummins motors and hit the scales at over 100,000 lbs a load. logan airports expansion in the 60s and 70s had anything you could put together trailers or 10 wheel dumps ,it took millions of yards of fill,made guys rich!

Having absolutely no respect for his father's way of life. I might be wrong.
It's old but ahead of its time. I would even say aerodynamic! Nice cab-over!
Love the White Mustang models, looks like a truck should look

The first truck is a White 3000, the 2nd is a 4464TDL
Awesome, well done!

They're beauties, thanks for keeping them in such good shape for all of us to see. They're a joy to watch

Time sure have changed! Thanks for sharing.
sounds like a good way to test your brakes and meet mobsters.
Thanks for putting on the show! Great trucks.
Bonjour de France superbes trucks les ingénieurs de l'époque donnaient libre cours à leurs idées et ils réalisaient des choses magnifiques
Thanks again for your videos.
my great grandfather built some bad ass trucks in his time when he ran the white motor company
So cool
My Grandfather drove for White Motors in New Brunswick NJ back in the day.
I think this is in Jersey.

She's a beauty,
Good question. The driver was heavy on the pedal as well.

looks like you can turn it around on a postage stamp
Beautiful truck! I have been wondering though guys, what type of wheel would you call the wheels on this thing?
Dayton or just spoke wheels.
What year model is the White? Engine trans ? Series and did they make a tandem axle in this make model?
my grate uncle had one of them
the sad thing is that he past years before i was born and i think he sold it or someone in his family junked it
tuff trucks
I think the same thing every time I see one of these trucks. I guess the older guys were a tougher breed?
What kinda white model is it ??
America makes things functional and beautiful. Russia makes things functional.
