MOTOR TRUCK'SLIFE
RESTS WITH DRIVER

8. Deutsch, Of the Signal Motor
Truck Company, gives some valuable
hints to users OF motor trucks.
THE life of the motor truck de-
Ponds primarily of course. on the
sturdiness Of its construction and
the strength Of its component parts.
"But taking it for granted that you
have purchased a good truck. the life
Of your truck now rests largely with
your driver.
IF the driver takes an interest in
the truck, keeps it in good condition
and does not let it get out Of repair
does not overload II, the truck will
give long and faithful service.
But on the other hand, II the
or its condition-drives It careIessly-
overloads traces the motor and
clashes the gears, the truck will SUI
fer and its life will be materially
shortened
so the truck owner should pay as
much attention to the driver OF his
truck as to his investigation and his
choice OF trucks.
Several firms who own fleets, Of
trucks have instituted a bonus sys-
tenn by which excellent results have
been accomplished.
Under this system, the driver who
gets the most service out Of his truck
with the least expense covering a
definite period Of time. receives a
bonus. 1t makes a good driver out
OF poor one and makes a good driver
even more careful"

project, the most ambitious of the
kind ever planned either by Gov
ernmcnt or by a private agency, is
considered by the War Department
to be OF primary Importance, as is
shown by a statement Of the military
and educational purposes for which
the trip is to be made. These are:
(a) An extended service or per-
formance test Of the several standard
lied principal types of motorized
army equipment used for the trans
portation Of troops and cargo, and
for other special military purposes.
(b) The War Departments contri-

for the purpose Of developing the con-
structinn OF through-route and trans
continental highways as a military
and economic asset
lei A demonstration of the prac-
ticability of long distance motor post
and commercial transportation and
the necessity for the judicious ex-
penditure Of Federal governmental
appropriations in providing the neces-
sary highways.
Ia The collection Of detailed data
for use in connection with the tech
meal training Of commissioned and
enlisted personnel Of the motor trans
port in the essential functions of the
