FOR SANE CONTROL
OF MOTOR TRUCKS
Regulation Of Trucks on
Highways Presents
Many Problems.
BY Il. ID. PRATT
General Manager Motor Truck AssO-
ciation of America


Regulation of motor trucks in their
operation on the highways of the state
present many perplexing problems,
when one is looking for a solution in
which justice to the operator of the
truck. and TO the public is sought.
The things which the public at
large must look for, and do look for,
are restriction in speed so that acct
dents to pedestrians caused by trucks
operating at a speed too high for their
bulk and weight, can be curtailed, and
accidents eliminated. Restriction on
weight so that when combined with
the speed of the truck the blows or
impact of the wheels on the pave
ment of the roadway will not be great
enough to crack the surface and cause
the foundation to give way, opening
up a break into which water will per-
colate. eventually destroying that sec
ton of the road.
Regulation so that the truck will
not be of size which will "hOg" the
roadway and either cause accidents to
those attempting to pass it by crowd
ing them into the bitches on either
side of the road, or blocking the road
so that no one can pass it. Regula-
ton of construction so that the truck
can be stopped in reasonable length
for its weight and speed, and so that
the driver can have clear view of the
road both in front and to the rear of
the truck should occasion require.
Contrary to the opinion of the ma
iority of those who comprise the
public" this sort of regulation is just
what the intelligent and enlightened
truck operator sees when he looks
into his side of the crystal. He sees
the same thing that the public sees
and if he is awake TO the preservation
of his interests, he sees to it that h

gets this kind OF regulation. before a
few selfish short-sighted truck opera
tors cause so much trouble by their
lack of consideration of the rights Of
others, that representatives OF the
hubble step in and give him regulation
which is so rigid and drastic that he
cannot operate his trucks to anything
near their possible efficiency. Truck
operating under regulation and re-
strictions of this character does not
nav. Therefore, there are but few
trucks in states which have such regu-
lations. and the communities suffer
thereby, for they pay higher price
for transportation Of their commodi-
ties than would otherwise be neces-
sary.
The motor truck operators in New
York State were wise enough to I'M
derstand the danger of this condition,
and through the Motor Truck Asso,
citation of America drafted and had
nossed Inv the New York Legislature,
last spring, sane, reasonable regula-
TONS which protected their interests
and preserved the rights Of the pub
lie.
The regulatory law known as the
Lowman bill, passed by the last ses,
sion of the Legislature. covered all
the points mentioned. 1t limited the
gross weight of four-wheeled vehicle
Ia fourteen tons-and to 700 pounds
nor inch width Of tire, which means
Slightly more than 100 pounds to the
square inch of contact surface.
1t also limited the speed at which
heavy trucks could legally travel to
fifteen miles per hour and that OF
light trucks to twenty miles; 1t took
into consideration the fact that pneu-
matte tires were more absorbent OF
shock and allowed five-mile per hour
increase ofspeed in the case of trucks
shod on all four wheels with this sort
of tire.
II required that every truck have
the cross weight, the carrying capaci-
Nv and the light weight shown on the
truck so that in cases of suspected
overlooking the truck itself would
show the capacity it was licensed to
carry, and provided penalty for not
having this information on the truck.
1t also provided severe and drastic
pcnalties for overloading-a maximum
fine of $3.50 and the unloading of the
surplus load with n mandatory sus-
pension of the license of the vehicle
itself for 80 days, for third offense
Of like character.
