Motortruck Prominence in War Time Transport
The motortruck rises as a practical transport form during war and remains essential after fighting ends. In some regions highway freight surpasses rail cars in efficiency, suggesting the motortruck will permanently influence future trade and movement of goods.
Push Good Roads Building
Wartime road construction should be accelerated without interference to expand transportation arteries. This expansion would facilitate moving foodstuffs from farms to tables, potentially reducing living costs.

Value of Motortruck in Farm Marketing
The motortruck value as payment in marketing farm produce is now well established. Improved roads have been an essential factor in bringing this about.
