A renowned banker argued that understanding freight rates and cost components is essential for pricing. He cited ice transportation at 46 percent, soft drinks 20 percent, brick 20 percent, bread 19 percent, laundry 15 percent, coal and wood 15 percent, ice cream 14 percent, dairy 12 percent, lumber 6 percent, and groceries and meats 4 percent. The note references 1700 trucks in the Packard National Efficiency Test for 1918 and another equal number in the same test.
