Motor Trucks to Haul Freight in Iowa Plan
M D Eggleston of Mason City may visit Waterloo to discuss launching motor truck transport in Iowa. Endorsed by the state council of defense, the plan has support from jobbers, shippers, and Waterloo manufacturers. Eggleston argues short hauls up to 50 miles can be served by a fleet of motor trucks at costs similar to rail freight, easing congestion and boosting road building. The initiative aims for nationwide adoption with railroad, war, and agricultural backing.
