TRUCKS HANDLE ONLY 5 PER
CENT OF TOTAL FREIGHT.
SURVEY SHOWS
I Since the rise at Mie highway
industry two decades agrt. motor
trucks have at no time handled
more Mian 5 per cent of the total
freight moving In this country
during any given year, according
to statistics compiled by the Cleve
land Trust* Company. The com
pany's study covered the years j
from 1926 through 1937.
In a recent issue of itv publica
tion "Business Bulletin", the firm
stated that in 1929 trucks were
carrying less than 2 per cent of
all freight. From that time until
' 1932, they gradually rose to 5 |
per cent, but have not increased
that proportion in the past> six
- years, the sstudy showed. Trucks
hauled "a little less" Minn 5 per
cent in 19*7.
"Their gains were made
in the early depression years
when they doubled their propor
tion of total freight transported
In the years from 1929 to 1932." j
i While the trucks were making
thfclr "great gains" during 1929
and 1932, according to the study, i
the comparative amount* of ton
nage hauled by the railroads de
creased but 1 per cent in the same
period.
I "In 1925 the railroads carried
76 per cent of Mie total. That pro
portion did not change much In
-the first eight years of the period,'
for In 1932 at Mie. bottom of the
depression the railroads were still
carrying 75 per cent of the total",
. the reports stated.
"They had lost greatly In vol
! ume In the depression years, but
that was mostly because much 1
loss freight* was being moved, and
not to any large degree because
the railroads were losing It to |
other agencies.
On the other band. Mie report
showed that from 1932 to 1937
the proportion carried by the rall
roada declined from 75 per cent'
to. 66 per cent, while trucks also
suffered a slight loss.
"A summary statement of the
noat significant changes that have
taken place In the transportation
of freight from 1936 through 1937
is that* In those 13 years the share
of the railroads dropped 10 points, '
from 76 per cent to 66 per cent",
the report added.
"Theae 10 "points lost by the
ratlroadsrailroad were absorbed by
| the three other agencies (trucks. 1
waterways, and pipelines). The
trucks gained three of them. The
pipe-lines also gained three points,
and the remaining' four were tak
en over by waterwaya."
"In 1926, the trucks carried
2 'per cent of the freight; Mie |
pipelines 5 per cent; the water
ways 17 per cent, and the rail
roads, Mie remaining 76 per cent.
In 1937 trucks carried 5 per cent '
; pipe-lines, 8 per cent; waterways, '
| 21 per cent, and the railroads the I
remaining 66 per cent." ? Ex,
