BUT ONE DRIVER
FOR TWO TRUCKS
Shortage of Man Power
Causes One Truck to

When a fleet OF motor trucks, eight

the Fulton Motor Truck company at

bound Tor C. W. Jennings. Green's
boro. n. c.. little excitement was
caused. even in view Of the length
of the trip for driveways have come
to be a necessity. But the feature Of
real interest about this driveway was
the carrying double" for as far as
is known this company first inaugu-
rated this method Of time and expense
saving by sending one driver away
with two Of its one and one-half ton
trucks. The first journey OF this
character was a real novelty and

There are advantages in this method
Of delivering one truck on the body Of
another truck, according TO William

vantage comes in the fact that only
one truck is driven over the road
while the other rides without any
damage or chance Of damage. And
the driver who has charge OF the
truck which is carrying another viii
quite naturally drive steadily and
with more care.
We found the plan very success
full At the outset deliveries were
made over short routes within a ra-
dius Of a comparatively short dis
lance from our plant. but dealers in
faraway districts looked into the mat
ter and are now using their drivers
for double duty as is the case with
several dealers and distributors of
cities in South Carolina North Caro-

states 7 have learned Of late that
other makers have adopted this plan
and that fleets OF trucks have been
seen passing through large cities.

As may be inferred. the cutting
down OF delivery expense is very con-
siderable, but the fact that dealers
are able in this way and while short
Of men 10 secure just twice as many
trucks as they would ordinarily be
able TO secure. is the largest item. The
demand for trucks is so general that
the doubling up in delivery with no
increase Of help is a very consider
able item
