Show j TRUCK EFFICIENCY DEPENDS ON DRIVER Ignorant Pilots Often Cause Serious jj Damage; Kissel Ear Man Would j Train Them. a To insure economical operation as well as uninterrupted service, truck 5 owners should encourage their drivers y to become familiar with the general j construction of the trucks they operate, I is the point of a few remarks made by jj Sales Manager Hewes of the Intef- 5 Mountain Motor Car company, local 1 Kissel Kar distributors, the other day. i " "While recently talking to the super- ' intendent of a truck repair shop," said llewes, "I was informed that the geu- i oral run of repairs that have shown up lately were made by the careless handling hand-ling of the equipment, due particularly to ignorance of the fine points of truck driving on the part of the new drivers. "A man has many things to learn to i make him a good truck driver, even if he has previously driven a passenger 'ar. In commercial use the driver's at- tention to detail is even more essential ! than in passenger vehicles, wnere the ' strains are not. so heavy, j "Most every manufacturer of motor j trucks issues instruction books as well : as other descriptive literature so that 1 drivers can give the proper attention I to the care and operation of the trucks. If drivers would carefully 'get' the ; points laid down in these books thev would increase their efficiency as well as get better service from their trucks." . I |
