Motor Trucks On The Farm Demonstration Tour Impresses Farmers
A sixteen vehicle motor truck caravan demonstrated pneumatically-equipped trucks across eleven agricultural states covering about 750 miles. The Rocky Mountain Trades Association promoted by Goodyear challenged farmers to find a hauling job the trucks could not handle. A two ton truck with a 2100 pound overload hauled coal up an 11 percent grade and won a $100 bet. Loads of grain livestock lumber coal barley and more were moved between farms and rail points in hours rather than days despite muddy roads. Over 50 trucks were sold after the educational tour.
