Haul Much More On Hard Roads
The Greater Inwa Association finds moving a one ton load on level dirt requires about 106 pounds of pull, 76 pounds on medium hard pavement, and only a bit more on paved surfaces for main trans state routes. Sand needs far more force than dirt or pavement, while brick asphalt and cement are similar. The association suggests districting for hard surfaced roads funded by bonds, with no extra taxes, to catch up with progressive states.
