Motor Truck Time Saver For Farm Use Across States
A study by the U S Department of Agriculture finds motor trucks on farms save time and may raise profits. Most farmers from Maine to Indiana report trucks profitable, with one half to three fourths preferring larger sizes. Trucks cut hauling time by half to two thirds, though many farms are five miles or more from markets. The average truck life is about seven years, with maintenance costs modest and some reduction in hired help costs cited.
