ants object to this. though pointing out
that as they are part OF the original

depreciate at exactly the same rate, and
so strictly speaking. IL this principle

ARE YOUR TRUCKS
EARNING MONEY?
Expert Gives Advice on How
to Get the Best
Results.

In the article proceeding this the gen.
eral matter Of truck operating cost
vas discussed, and we shall go into
the detail of system designed to tell
the truck owner how to keep track of all
items entering into truck operation. The
system is simple and designed especially
for the truck owner and Is as necessary
TO the proper operation of his business
as the trucks themselves.
When o man operates a motor truck he
is engaged in the transportation bust
ness, whether ne sells the services of his
trucks to others or converts them to the
uses Of his own business. Just as he
would be competing with others In sim
liar trade II he hired them out, SO he is
competing with those to whom he might
rent services when he operates them for
himself. The success OF any Industrial
pursuit Is always largely a matter OF
competition.
Without data on what the operation of
his trucks cost him man is at a compet-
tive disadvantage He does not know
whether he Is saving money by operating
his own trucks or not. He cannot tell
whether his equipment is the most eco
ncmical for his purpose or otherwise. He
has no means of knowing whether he is
getting the best results from his rolling
stock or whether there are needless leaks
which only require the proof of excessive
,perating cost to point them out. where
otherwise they would BIO unsupported.
Worse. infinitely, than the cost figures
at all are incorrect ones. for without
sny knowledge Of costs ordinary cautioif
would irnpel a conservative and cautious
attitude Bogus costs encourage price
cutting and all the attending evils. One
reason for the disquieting number Of fail
ures In the trucking intercity haulage and
motor bus fields Is that the price slash
ing Of cost ignorant operators not only
forces them into bankruptcy, but renders
sound competition by others who OPP
crate intelligently difficult
! The fallacies of many self-deceiving
! operators are based chiefly upon failures
/ to take all or the items of cost into
/ consideration. Too many truck users

depend upon their check books for their
operating accounts, and Intentionally or
rnintentionally water their stock OF
bleed their investment dry by failing TO
charge suitable sinking fund against
the cost OF operation; by considering
only current operating expenses and fail
ing to allow for disbursements certain to
become necessary in the future.
Chief among the omissions OF this
nature are those fixed charges which
though intangible and largely unaffected
" the extent to which the vehicle is
operated. go on just the same and are
the chief reason why minute OF lost
time here. an hour or two day. a day
or SO a month, make the difference Do
tween economy and extravaganza.
When a sum of money Is paid out for
the purchase OF equipment OF any sort
the transaction is one of slow turnover
and is termed an investment. A good
investment is never an expenditure, but
merely way OF putting money to work
in order that It may increase itself
Money, however put 10 use. should re-
turn a minimum OF the legal rate OF
interest, since it may always be invested
il, gilt edged securities TO earn this
amount.
This, then, Is the first fixed charge,
usually D per ceAt- Oh tno lolaI INVEST
ment.
Since all machinery wears out In time
ecomes obsolete and can never be liqui-
dated at Its real value, depreciation
should be allowed for or else some fine
morning the owner will find that his in
vestment has vanished. To allow for
this depreciation charge Is made, so as
to build up a sinking fund from the
earnings of the tick by which it may
&c replaced when worn out This process
Of self-maintcnance of the investment
Is called amortization and is based on
an estimate OF the useful life of the
truck. so that fund sufficient to pay
for new truck Will have accumulated
ly means of monthly or yearly allot-
nent.
Amortization is figured either on an
annual percentage basis or on a fixed
sum per mile of travel. The first Is
based on an estimate Of the life OF the
truck In years and is. Of course. the sim
plest. The second assumes q given num-
Der of miles of travel, Irrespective OF
time, as the life. The latter is the more
exact since truck which is run 1900
miles q year may be expected to last
twice as long as ono which runs $4,000
miles per annum. It is also better guide
TO costs over short periods, since it ap-
portions the depreciation charge more
equitaby In months where greater or
| less mileage than the average Is made.
Just as amortization is necessary to
provide for the natural depreciation In
value due to ordinary use of the truck,

All authorities are agreed that there
is splendid future ahead OF the Indus
trial truck. which is simply an electric
vehicle for use within the factory or
plant Many manufacturers will find
that these local vehicles will prove the
solution Of the problem of speeding UP
the MOTOR truck transport system. IN
der proper conditions Industrial trucks
will save just as much time In deliver
ing products at the loading platform as
the trucks save in making the ultimate
deliveries on the outside.
