DISPATCHING AND ROUTING OF TRUCKS
 IMPORTANT POINTS

Upon intelligent dispatching and rout- ing of trucks depends their profitable operation. In fact. these are the chief duties of the superintendent in charge of the operations of the trucks. His abil- ity to keep paying loads moving will measure the success of their service.
 System should underlie the work of the dispatcher and router He should have a complete knowledge of the days work at least twenty-four hours in ad- vance if possible. Upon this informa- tion he can chart a schedule that will eliminate all waste time, distance and m otion.
 To route the trucks, an intimate knowledge is necessary of the geography and topography of the scene of opera tions, whether it be city or rural terri tory. The dispatcher and router should know the density of traffic at various hours of the day. He should know the best hours for loading unloading at various shipping or delivery points.
 It is the aim of the dispatcher to keep truck traffic moving past his shipping platform in a cycle. He must avoid, if possible, the congestion of his entire fleet at the shipping platform, compel ling part of the trucks to remain idle while waiting for loading or unloading crews.
 To aid him in assigning the loads to units of the fleet and to map out time saving schedules for their operation, the dispatcher usually makes use of dis patch sheet. This record will show at a glance the nature of load, the distance, the time of departure, the destination and the probable time of return of any truck in the fleet.
 That the installation of an efficient dis patching system is profitable is proved by the experience of an operator of twenty-four large trucks who in one year saved close to $3OO00 in operation and maintenance expense through the elimina- tion of idle time and wasted travel.

roads were used constantly, day and night, by thousands of army trucks on jobs which had to be performed with out unnecessary delay
 The capacity of an otherwise good road under heavy summer traffic, continues MT. Baker in the letter re- ferred to, lis materially decreased by even one grade requiring the use of intermediate gear, and that capacity suffers a further very material de- crease during periods when snow and ice are encountered.
 Location is part of the road, and a good location is an absolute neces- sity in order to get 100 per cent ef- ficiency from any given road surface. The better the surface the more inn portant the location. The saving in maintenance charges by a proper To- cation, together with the saving In operating expenses of motor vehicles, will be of benefit to all generations, including the present which must soon decide the question of permanent locatiorfs. The cost of a proper loca- ton is as proper a charge against the
