Show DO NOT OVERWORK TRUCK FIRST YEAR It J.s common knowledge among successful suc-cessful truck operators that in the first year not more than 40 per cent of the value of the truck should be expended if it is to remain in operation and pay the return the operator is entitled to upon his investment in later years. The fact that enough attention is not paid to this point is tne real reason why Inexperienced operators are forever switching from one make truck to another an-other in the hopeless hope of overcoming overcom-ing the inevitable. When it Is take:i Into consideration t.iat the mechanical structure o: the motor truck is even more intricate than a locomotive loco-motive and contains innumerable devices and parts all more or less independent, it Is easily understood why so many thousands thou-sands of trucks literally fail apart in less than two years' service. |
