pounding force upon the road surface. Almost all of this weight is thrown upon the rear wheels of the truck so that the weight is concentrated. If this weight can be distributed the sav- ing road repairs is enormous during a years time
 By trailerizing a six-ton truck that is, attaching trailer and instead of permitting the weight to rest almost entirely on the rear wheels of the truck, to distribute it over four addi- tional wheels, road surfaces are able to stand the wear much better A six ton load carried by a truck and trailer means theoretically that only 1,500 pounds of weight is thrown on each of the eight wheels. Of course. a little more weight is thrown on the rear axle of the driving truck, but that is compensated by less weight on the re- maining six wheels
 Even less stress is placed upon the road if two trailers are attached to the truck, thus distributing the loads weight over 12 wheels
 Leading highway engineers are recommending the use of trailers at tached to light trucks rather than the use of single heavy trucks. as actual tests and close observation of road traffic have convinced them that in the distribution of weight lies the solu- ton of cheap road upkeep."
