    Good luck in FULFILLING your WISHES and finding a FLEET with COEs .

    There are 2 versions of WHITE VOLVO 1) Painted that way 2) Early Models produced VOLVO merged with WHITE TRUCK COMPANY , I had a 1989 Big bunk conventional 425 CAT in it was a good truck , still see a few on the road.

    Yes they have COES , and limited to where they run with them.

    Not being SARCASTIC , and never said COEs SUCK , but get REAL they DO NOT MAKE THEM anymore for the North American Market, the Freighliner ARGOSY was the last in production, very few of the big carriers have any left. Besides LIKELY you have never driven 1 so from my experience in driving & owning COES they are not the PLEASURE to drive that you may think.

    Oh well in that case you need to check out the new company formed by the recent merger of FedEx and UPS it is called FedUp and they have long nose Hi-rise triple bunk Condo COE's. This should be right up your alley. :biggrin_2556:

    However, if maximum mileage can only be achieved by running "back east, " and then running west again, or, even if maximum mileage can only be obtained by running in the east, then that is no problem.

    Generally, i can and will run anywhere including all Canadian provinces
    bordering the U.S. and also new jersey, new york(including all 5 bouroughs of NYC), and new england cheerfully provided that i get maximum mileage.



    I thought running all the way east and then back west was considered OTR, my bad.

    I don't know how that company is running cabovers. They aren't CARB compliant, since none have been built since cali started that crap. The picture in the link was taken in 2001 according to the date at the bottom.

    The European COE's are MUCH nicer than the NA ones. They are well appointed. I used to drive with a Brit and he loved his Scania. Especially the 620HP V8.
