This book reviews White medium and heavy-duty truck models in roughly the decade of the 1950s, including the WC, 3000, 4000, 5000, and 9000 series. Superb photography combined with detailed captions bring the reader a complete picture of these marvelous trucks.

In 1951, Consolidated Freightways signed an agreement with the White Motor Co. allowing White to distribute Freightliner trucks through White Dealerships. The co-branded White-Freightliner trucks gained momentum through the 1950s with sales exploding during the 1960s. Even though sales increased dramatically during this period Consolidated Freightways remained the largest user of White-Freightliner trucks.
As you look at the photos on the pages of this book, you will see the many different customers and the hauling jobs they did in the peak of their popularity. Small, medium or large hauling jobs, White-Freightliners fit the needs of the trucking industry. An extensive photo collection allows Ron Adams to select the greatest of these big rigs.
