"Motor trucks are as guilty of fuel ! wastage as passenger cars in the hands ! of 'joy riders' and every effort should l be made hy their owners to practice conservation of fuel. Care phoitld be exercised ex-ercised that tho truck is operated under pay load only, and not sent promiscuously promis-cuously about with partial loads. Drivers shonld be . penalized for allowing- tiieir motors to run while the trucks are being- loaded or unloaded. Every ounce of power that the truck motor develops .should be utilized to move every pound of merchandise that its capacity permits. "The use of semi and four-wheel trailers trail-ers will assist in conserving the present supply of gasoline, as well as reducing I he cost of haulage. If every motor truck were compelled to utilize its reserve power hy hauling trailers, fever trucks would be required and transportation costs would easily be reduced one-half." |
