What ever happened to that White 9000 I wanted to buy?

[@peterpomerleau8698]

What a beautiful truck we are lucky to have you capturing all these beautiful trucks at these shows and talking with all these great people and them sharing their stories

[@TheBostonTrucker]

Thank you Peter

When I was a kid, Mike living in Hanover, Mass we would see Graziano trucks on the road as we traveled from West Bridgewater or Taunton, Ma picking up grain for our farm in our 1960 IH grain truck. Unfortunately, all too often their concrete trucks were broke down on the side of the road. They ran their trucks hard but the building on the south shore was booming at the time so I'm sure that was the issue. It is great to see this truck resurrected.

Hi from Rhode Island . Great to see the truck in great condition ; and the best then you can always go see it 😊

[@TheBostonTrucker]

Yes indeed!

[@Retired88M]

I drove one of these every night hauling the US Mail from Scranton to the Philadelphia Bulk Mail Center. Mine was an old Leaseway trade in in the same light blue just with the name painted over. It had the NTC-230 Cummins with a 10 speed Roadranger and with a single stack in the right side. Every night 5 days a week. The only thing that gave any comfort was the big firm driver’s seat. No other goodies except for the heater/defroster. It was like an oven in the summer nights and comfortable in the winter no matter how cold it got but that was it. I used to have to turn my CB radio on its side and lay it in the ashtray then bungee cord it to the dash and then reverse the wires since it was a positive ground system. I think part of my hearing loss can be attributed to driving it because it was just as loud inside the cab as it was outside You did a beautiful job with yours

[@scottycollins1829]

SUPER COOL OLD SCHOOL WHITE!!!!!!!

[@jerryaltadonna5462]

nothing like that OLD IRON truck's had CLASS back in the day great restoration keep them coming Mike

[@daleyhanson5889]

Mike I had the wrong 4000, ? I mixed the videos and was thinking about the cab in Avon and forget the prelude "going to buy video on this one,,,just turned 74 last week, guess I had a ""senior moment ,Lol ?

[@TheBostonTrucker]

I'll let it go this time 😉😁

[@randallwilliams2274]

I drove a old white 4000 in the mid 70s and it had a straight pipe twin screw with 290 Cummins engine no A/c a little heat . I hauled cotton bails from the Gin to the compress. You could hear me coming from miles away it was that loud. Tough times had to have tough trucks.

[@Marbleheadjed]

Beautiful truck ! John DeFransisco ran some of these out of Salem Ma . Great looking trucks .

[@TheBostonTrucker]

Right on

[@26ydtibbs39]

Just beautiful. Preserving history. Thank you, Mike and George. In 1981, I was driving a Mack DM 800, and we had a couple of these White's. They were twin screws hauling dump trailers. Cosimi trucking out of Leominster.

[@snydedon9636]

If you want to preserve history you gotta keep it factory. This one, no.

[@markdanielczyk944]

Truck looks amazing. Thanks for the update.

[@williammurphy1592]

It looks great. Thanks for sharing Mike

[@TheBostonTrucker]

Any time!

[@the.porter.productions]

O-H-I-O Porter greetings 🇺🇸 Ok now, are you truly glad he bought it instead of you? That truck had so much potential & it could’ve been yours to get it there. My pickin is done now. I loved it & knew it should be saved! It was quite an eye catching truck then & look at it now…WOWSERS!! It doesn’t take much to give us something to honor our dads, brothers or those who got us into the Truck Lovin Club! I had my dad, brothers & uncles! The inside of that cab was so sweet! Thanks for the update! Let’s do this then….do you like it enough to see if he would sell it to you? You know the excitement level for him is quite high & he has to have it a little longer to feed his Truck Frenzy! Hehehe! Good stuff, bro! Blessings! 🤩🥰✌️

[@TheBostonTrucker]

Yes I'm 100% happy George owns it and I absolutely love what he's done with it.

[@the.porter.productions]

@@TheBostonTrucker 🇺🇸 I think he brought out the personality & charm of the truck. One good looking single axle! It had a 220 Cummins, right? Sounds good. 🤩🥰✌️

[@petercarmeci8317]

My dad drove one of these in Pink. He worked for Fowler & Williams at their Manhattan Terminal. On W29 St between 11th and 12th ave. I’ve been driving a tractor trailer for 29 years. First with Stott and Davis, then Yellow Freight, now at UPS. That is one gorgeous truck. Those and B61’s are my favorites.

[@francoismoreira1583]

Hi,beautiful truck 👌💪🏻🙏🇺🇸🇫🇷

[@KevinMartin44128]

Thank you!!!!

[@johnzirbes5460]

I learned how to drive in a 68 white 4000 250 Cummins 10 speed velvet ride I guess you could call it a long nose twin screw froze my butt in that one Armstrong steering no front brakes but it was mine

[@MGR6677]

Mike, are those rear fenders exclusive to New England trucks?seems all trucks up there have that type on them, Just curious .

[@theoregontruckerT880]

When people say they want an old school truck they definitely don’t mean real old school Ike this Don’t ever get no front door from the white knight

[@hammers1518]

Sweet little truck.

[@charlesroer972]

the Mack’s are a different look , not like the others !

[@chriscute2129]

Hi associated transport. I had over 2 hundred of the 9000 Whites. They were great tractors, both city and road;

[@keepontruckinoutlawlife1248]

Wow amazing

[@peanut_trucker]

Came out nice 👍

[@whosthere2707]

When trucks were trucks and we had real drivers

[@MikeLavery-xg7mz]

Nice white 9000. Wish you would have shown more of that blue white 4000

[@TheBostonTrucker]

I'll see it again.

[@radiog9892]

were you out in the superliner in weymouth today?

[@TheBostonTrucker]

No, we don't own it anymore.

[@frederickwoodard9551]

Wasn’t White and GMC together in brands of Semi Trucks 🚛. 🙂

[@genefogarty5395]

Not until much later in the company's existence. White was acquired by Volvo in the early '80s during a bankruptcy and then Volvo later merged their heavy truck div. with GMC. White was a giant conglomerate making all sorts of things early on, sewing machines being one, lol. It's amazing how many companies White bought up along the way, their history is incredible.

[@Sheisthedevilyouknowwho-ft9we]

@@genefogarty5395 you know your stuff. They bought up Oliver, MinnMoline,cockshutt, folded into White name later. You mentioned sewing machines. Jay Leno said "that thing runs like a sewing machine" came from how good Whites were. Think he said its the same White that made steam automobiles. Makes me want to do more research how much White got into. Had there own engines, didnt they ? Big 6 gas engines in they earlier years of trucking (both big straight trucks & tractor trailers) before diesels caught on.

[@truckingjohnno7]

Im in Love

[@michaelphillips9259]

Mine is up for sale unfortunate happenings force sale. 😢

[@TheBostonTrucker]

Oh no 😮

[@georgewilson1184]

It’s a shame it’s not a twin screw like it should be I will never ever understand why Companies would purchase and operate Single screw equipment?????

[@Retired88M]

They bought the single screws for all types of work whether city or road and most didn’t gross out their weights . And remember back in the late 60’s and early 70’s a 40 ft trailer was big

[@ernestpassaro9663]

Depends on the weight most LTL companies dont pull much weight

[@johnwhohasanopinion7939]

That baby is beautiful. Do you guys know if that was originally a Grand Union tractor

[@gj5250]

That is one cool truck. Id give my left ______ for that. 🫡
