<P> The purchase of White Trucks in 1980 turned out to be a very good step for Volvo . Suddenly , Volvo 's trucks could be marketed throughout the United States , in parallel with a tailor - made programme of modern American heavy - duty trucks . When Volvo took over the truck assets of White , the White / Autocar / Western Star product programme consisted of the Road Boss ( conventional ) truck , the Road Commander 2 ( cab - over engine ) truck , the low - built Road Xpeditor 2 ( cab - over engine ) truck , the Autocar DC ( heavy duty construction ) truck , the Road Constructor 2 ( construction ) truck and the Western Star ( long - distance conventional and cab - over engine ) trucks . </P>
