Here's the big point that must not 

 be forgotten — motor trucks are just 

 as dependable a method of transport- 

 ing logs as the railroad is; it is gener- 

 ally a question of which will best frt 

 the individual requirements of the 

 project under consideration. It 

 doesn't make any difference whether 

 it is a big show or a small one, the 

 conditions govern the decision. 



In some places the very long haul, 

 or a rehauhng problem or some other 

 local condition, makes the railroad 

 the right method; in others the speed 

 with which the timber can be reached 

 with a road, the fact that spar trees 

 can be located where advisable and 

 the road run to them easily, the 

 lowered cost of road and equipment, 

 and the flexibility and mobility of the 

 truck units make the motor truck the 

 best solution. 



Unless you know which method 

 will answer best — ^get an expert who 

 thoroughly understands motor truck 



logging. Then select the proper 

 truck and trailer equipment. Then 

 build good roads for the truck and 

 trailer to work on, for the biggest 

 mistake a man can make is to assume 

 that because a touring car will ran 

 over a certain piece of dirt road thai 

 a truck weighing six tons and loads 

 ranging from 12 to 20 tons can b?. 

 hauled over it continually without 

 trouble. A good road is just as es- 

 sential to the motor truck as it is to 

 the locomotive — -and you know how 

 important that is though the road 

 for the truck will cost a great deal less 

 than the road for the locomotive. 



Curves, grades, etc., are not so 

 important, with the truck as they are 

 with the railroad, of course, and 

 where planks or poles are used for 

 trackage, ballasting is not necessary. 



If you can use horses, you can use 

 trucks, and do more work, do it 

 quicker and easier and at far less
