Greater Efficiency From Low Gear Ratios In Trucking
Long distance hauling grows as trucks use low gear ratios to start heavy loads and climb steep grades. Leonhardt Truck Co operates a 313 ton Federal vehicle with a four wheel trailer on the Santa Susana grade, moving five tons on the truck and over ten tons on the trailer for eight months. California farmers in Camarillo push ten to twelve ton loads directly to warehouses, cutting handling and transit time from days to hours, illustrating how motor trucks relieve railroads of short haul work.
