Your Delivery \ehlcles The recent report of the Harvard Bureau of Business Research presents some very import- ant facts to the retailer. ‘I'he two heaviest items in cost of operation are the sales cost and delivery expense. According to the report each salesman should be able to show a record of a minimum of $15,- 000 per year. In delivery cost there is an opportunity for a saving in operations. Your vehicles—are they adding cost or reducing record cost? What is your initial cost? What is your up-keep? Does yvour delivery vehicle fit your needs? Much de- pends upon this, in keeping down your delivery cost. One dealer informs the writer that his up- keep for the year on one delivery rig (a Ford) was in excess of 810 per month beside his de- preciation. Some dealers even assert thut for short haul the horse drawn vehicle is still more economi- cal. e choice of your delivery vehicle deserves more than a passing consideration. The Ford which is more universally in use than any other vehicle for gr s delivery, is not economical, as it consumes more oil and gas than many other light cars and is more often in the garage Iu; repairs. This may be because of the uni- versal misuse or abuse of the Ford. other companies have developed ua'\ cars which are challenging the s an economical car, notably the Over- claimed that an Overland commercial operated at a cost of less than four nile. inciuded in this cost being oil, gas, upkeep and depieciation. Delive expense as reported by Harvard Bureau: \Wages 1.8 per cent ; expense 1.0; other delivery 2.8 per cent, making total deliv- ery expense 5.6 per cent. This from a total ex- pense of operation of 18.0 per cent, or nearly one-third of vour total expense is your deliv- ery expense cnst factor in your business that should have vour eareful eonsideration. Does it cost vou 3.8 per cent on every dollar in b turnover to operate yvour delivery besides paying your driver’s salary ? If so, your siness He was 63 years old and was born | going to Meriden 28 | Eight vears | monument | delivery equipment and operation is costing you too much money. If these figures are correct, and the estimate cost of delivery is at least 7 per cent on goods delivered, because not to exceed 80 per cent of your sales are delivered. If these figures are correct and the estimate is correct that 90 per cent of the dealers are using Ford delivery cars, then is it not possible that there may be other vehicles that can be operated at less cost and at lower upkeep? The constant agitation for more efficient methods of distribution can best be met by a eareful and painstaking investigation of the present meth- ods and elimination of waste and excessive éost, Here is a comparison of eost compiled from actual test of twenty-four Fords and the same pumber of Overlands: . On a test of mileage of 123,085 miles: Average cost gas per mile—Ford .018; Over- land 012, Cost per mile for oil—<Ford .0015; Overland 00085, Labor per mile—Ford, repairs .013; material H06: Overland, repairs .0065; material .0026, Tires, per mile—Ford .0023; Overland .0006. Depreciation—Ford .019; Overland 017, Taxes, per mile—.007 on both ecars. Total mileage cost—Ford .069; Overland 019, or a total saving of .02 cents per mile, Initial cost—Ford, Detroit, $431.17: Over- land, Milwaukee, $510.46. Saving on Overland operation cost, figured with gas at 24 cents: oil at 15¢ per quart; parts and tires list price; labor $1.25 per hour on re- pair work. From®thie table vou ean easily figure your operating cost. How many thousand miles per, month do you drive your delivery car? Do you realize that a saving of 2 cents per mile means to vou a eut in operating cost of nearly 40 per cent? three or five delivery rigs, what is it possible for you to cut operating cost? If yvour delivery is making a mileage of 1000 ¢ miles per month this is a matter of $240 per vear. If you are driving four rigs here is a pos- sible saving on delivery operation of about $1.- 000 per yvear. Add this to the .013 per cent net profit the service stores are making and it will help swell your profits or reduce vour overhead or reduce your selling price. Is this worth investigating? R. C.
