They few weeks have again proved to this city that-one of | the worst kinks in the transportation problem is the present trucking system. Why should the so-<atied movement of freight in New York look so often like a log-jam? Why should outgoing goods’ block incoming | goods, while empty trucks stand in endless Imes be- cause a given truck is permitted to fulfil only its appointed errand of taking some small consignment to or from a special consignee or consignor? Why the enormous waste of energy and space represented by partially loaded trucks and egipty trucks standing hour after hour in one another’s way, while freight piles up at the terminals and shippers’ losses multiply? It is hard to explain the irrational backwardness and clumsiness that have clung to methods of handling freight in this city. It is hard to explain why the trucking interests themselves have not seen more business and profit in co-operating to establish a system that would mean full trucks, quick movement and minimum loss in idleness. Such a system, since known as the “store-door- delivery” plan, was urged by The Evening World two years ago. i! Under this plan all the trucks in the city could be mobilized to move full loads of goods from freight terminals on a plan of first come, first filled. Incoming freight would be trucked at once to the doors of consignegs, and the same. trucks that de- livered goods would be used wherever possible to pick up goods from shippers for carriage to out- going trains or vessels. Trucking service would be paid for on the basis of weight or tbufk and charged to consignees. A system would enable individual truckmen and trucking concerns to adjust their dues and claims daily through the medium of a clearing house main- tained by the co-operating trucking interests. This may not be as simple as the practice in Eng- land, where the railroads operate their own trucks both for delivering and collecting goods, so that ship- *ments move under one control from store door to store door. ‘Nevertheless it would represent a long step ahead of the antiquated trucking methods that are now constantly tangilng themselves up and dofeating their own ends in New York.
