Motor Trucks Will Help Railroads in Costly Short Haul
Roy D. Chapin of the National Automobile Chamber of Commerce told the United States Chamber of Commerce that motor trucking will relieve railroads of costly short haul business enhancing the national transportation system. He said motor haulage is mainly supplementary for short trips, with 86 percent of Connecticut motor truck loads under 70 miles, and urged shifting freight terminals away from crowded downtown areas to cut terminal charges. He argued an integrated system uses all facilities efficiently, with trucking speeding merchant movement and reducing street congestion.
