County Adopts 12 Truck Fleet for Gravel Haul on Eagle Center Road
The county plans to rent five government trucks to add to seven in service, forming a 12-truck fleet to haul gravel for surface road work on the Eagle Center road from Waterloo toward Traer. Drivers will go to Ames to bring in the new Nash and other trucks, with daily rates set for each vehicle type. A county carpenter will fabricate truck bodies saving about 669 per truck, enabling more efficient graveling via the trench system.
