| Oh the wall as to the future of the
motor truck.
The delivering of trucks by highway
from the manufacturers in the central
west to the point of embarkation has in
Nolved a study OF highway conditions,
driver problems. and schedule plans
ali within a period of few months,
which would otherwise have taken
years to accomplish.
An Object Lesson.
The moving Of trucks across the
country is an object lesson to the
hundreds of thousands of people who
live along the routes followed. It will
help to teach the American people that
we have highways. The fact that pas
senger cars have for years been going
by the thousands from coast to coast
does not mean that inter- CITY hauling
with trucks is profitable. or even pos
siblc. in most sections OF the country
1T required weeks of path finder driv-
ing and Il great deal of effort to find n
route from Detroit to the Atlantic
trains Of motor trucks destined for
shipment abroad.
The war department has arranged for
a motor truck transportation service
head. There will be quarters in De-
troit, Buffalo, New York and Washing
ton.
Problems Of Future.
Every general principle applying to
the railways will apply to highways.
The same problems that confront rail-
road operation with regard to short
cuts to the main transcontinentaI line,
loading facilities and "thc return load'
are all involved when it comes to maxi
ing long distance motor trucks hauling
profitable.
The greater part of our highways
have been built for horse drawn equip
ment The motor truck industry must
solve the problems and sponsor Iegis-
lation which will develop highways ror
motor truck use. Such legislation
must be definite and uniform in oper-
alton.
The United States government builds
no roads. On the other hand, there
has been $500, 100000 spent within
the past 10 years on highways con-
struction, exclusive of bridges
The time has come when the motor
truck industry is undergoing n trans
ition of tremendous Importance. What
