As tough as they got – White Road Boss

In Great Dashboards of the Past, June 20221 MinutesBy NZ Trucking magazineJuly 17, 2022

New Zealand, the most cosmopolitan truck country. It’s an argument hard to dispute. Over the years, haven’t we had some rippers come on our shores? None more so than the mighty White Road Boss; a heartier machine you will not find.

Originally a Pan Pac truck, this old girl has fallen on her feet, owned today by Transport Repairs director Jason Popplewell. Although she’s been a yard truck for the last few years… he has plans.

Woodgrain from door to door, a steering wheel that looks like it would be at home on the back of a Mississippi Paddle Steamer, a dash-top fan, proper gear lever, and closed-in quarters, make the inside every bit as staunch as the out. Go the Boss!
