GOODYEAR OPERATES
MOTOR TRUCK LINES
COMPANY is DELIVERING ITS
PRODUCTS IN A RADIUS OF
SEVERAL HUNDRED MILES.

"Truckportation," new termlnoloo-
gy for freight hauling by pneumatl-
cally equipped motor trucks-has
been given tremendous impetus in the
east by the establishment of five long
distance motor truck routes by The
Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company
branch at Philadelphia, Pa, to give
speedy and regular deliveries of prod
ucts to its service stations.
So successful has this motor truck
service been during a year of opera
ton that an extension is proposed
by having the newly developed truck
portation lines act as feeders to the
trolley express service in counties
near Philadelphia where poor roads
will not allow trucks to make dellv-
cries. But this combination method
one-day express delivery service Will
be assured in every county IN Penn
sylvania.
More than 70 per cent of all distri-
button from the company's Phlla-
delpha branch is now made by these
truckportation lines = approximately
500 900 pounds of merchandise being
transported each month. AS rapidly
as possible the service will be extend
ed to eventually distribute 50 per cent
of all products sold from this branch
The longest Incorporation route IS
$40 miles. covering nine cities between
Philadelphia and Reading. The pneu-
matte trucks are given an opportunity
to show their capabilities on the steep
grades over the mountains. More
than 40 communities are served on the
three-day trip.
One-day trips of from 10 to 165
miles are made weekly to other cities
as far away as Wilmington, Harris
burg and Allentown, but the proposed
line into northern Pennsylvania, COW
ering 425 miles in four days, is the
most ambitious Incorporation effort
ever made with the exception of the
company's all-year-round Akron-Bos-
ton line and the transcontinental rec
ord of 10 days and five hours for the
3,451 miles between Los Angeles and
New York, with arrival in Manhattan
with the original California air in all
four tires.
The new Incorporation lines out of
Philadelphia, where the plan was
tried out first, have run on train-lika
schedules since their inception. The
service stations are certain
as just what time the truck may be
expected to roll up to their doors.
Actual performance figures of the
Observation-Disclosures trucks on
these lines show that an average speed
of IS miles an hour is maintained
practically touring car speed.
So frequent are the inquiries receiv-
ed from Philadelphia trucking com
panies for information about hauling
costs and road conditions from actual
demonstration and observation by
Goodyear truckateers that the com
pany plans to create incorporation
service bureaus to furnish the public
with this data in all branch cities as
rapidly as new truck lines are estab-
lished in each.

the dangers facing the men who are
dredging the East river to Long

Most of the work must be done

generally from 500 to 1000 pounds

ample provision financially to pay

this matter sufficient thought and
