This truck is really cool, I'd only ever known it in cab over configuration, way back in the late 90s my uncle had one, definitely wasn't anything special, looked like a retired fleeter with steel wheels and aero, used to haul plastic on I80 west to Wisconsin. It was an old dog climbing the Appalachian, but he was proud of it because they could give him an extra pallet or two. He eventually got an FLA, which I liked a lot better at the time, but I've never ever seen another Volvo White/GMC COE again and since.

That would have been the "White High Cabover" model, which was based on the White Road Commander 2 from before the Volvo merger/buyout. Production stopped in the early 1980s. So by the late 90s it would have been more than ten years old at best, and possibly older still. All the cabovers disappeared fairly quickly once the length restrictions were lifted -- everybody went to conventionals which rode better and offered better sleeper setups. (Even a minimal sleeper on a fleet-job conventional tended to have a bit better stand-up room than most cabovers.) With little demand and no more being made, cabovers faded away pretty fast.

I'm definitely not sure about year/model I just know it had a white/GMC badge in the lower corner of the grille and there was random Volvo badges on little stuff inside, I was a kid though so my memory is not intact. I'd say it was closer early/mid 90s, I wish I had pictures, this is the closest I could find to what it looked like with the set back front axles, it just had a different grille. [ external image ]

Edit: picture is off Google definitely not my own

Edit 2: I definitely remember when the cab overs started disappearing, Schneider, JB Hunt and CRST had SO MANY of the International COE with the tall sleepers and then the FLD replaced them and shortly after that it was the Century which was admittedly leaps and bounds better than any cab over, but I used to sit on the dog house and feel really tall.. good times haha
