By better handling of merchandise they saved in hauling expense an average of $58 per month or $696 per year per truck On this ratio, transportation prin ciples applied fully to 400,000 trucks would save American business $278, 400,000 every year Ton-mile costs were decreased Loads carried were increased at times 21 per cent which means that the 400,000 trucks could do the work of 484,000 trucks, simply by apply ing modern business methods to load ing and routeing The truck ownerthe truck driver, Is trying to get more work out of his iruck, and at lower, cost. But beyond a certain point, he is pt to feel baffled apt to feel that q might go farther if he only knew vhere else to save. - . . , What he really yvarits to" do is to apply modern business methods to his trucking. The performance of a motor truck depends on several factors- The truck --its efficiency as a' mechanism. The load and the road condi tions. Hozv the truck is handled on the road and in the garage; and how much time is iostinloadingaxidunloading. Choice of the truck in relation to its load has a great deal to do with it. One of the worst fallacies the busi ness world has to contend with is the practice of guessing at the size of truck needed Trucks should be bought for the job on the advice of' people who are competent to advise. The trucks you have in service to daycare probably capable of 20 to 50 per cent more service than they are giving you. ,. What you need to do is to oper ate them on modern business methods.The FreightTransportation Department of your local Packard Branch or Packard Dealer will be glad to show you how without charge. ie Mjesulis c ' Packard 100 War Work It was a Packard Truck loaded with machine gun ammunition that enabled the O. S. Marines to put the final punch into their fight at Chateau Thierry. A Captain of the U. S. A. Motor ! Transport Corps,1 speaking at a recent Victory meeting in Detroit to recruit men for the Motor Trans port Corps, stated that ' 14 pec cent of Pershing's' entire force is engaged in motor transport duty- . "If I could tell you the number of trucks under the American Flag over-seas," he Sf id, "there would be a lot of thunderstruck people "Chateau Thierry was the turn, of the tide," he said. "The Mar ines, who were smashing the last German offensive, were running short of machine gun ammunition. "Their commander telephoned back for more, f "The. motor s transport com mander called for four volunteers from among his, 90 trucks and -every driver volunteered. "He chose four, loaded the trucks with 50,000 rounds apiece of machine gun bandolier ammu- , nition, and they set out four trucks made in Detroit, turned out of the Packard factory just a few months before. "Three of them were caught in the German barrage and their car goes blown up and their drivers killed. ''The fourth-made his way through with the priceless 50,000 rounds that put the finishing touch on the American victory at Chateau Thierry. "The driver made his way back to the transport park, and re ported in these words: 'Sergeant reports Sir, the delivery of 50,000 rounds, and rcqvr-z rr mission to, make ill 'i'v?'? r .
