Iiitoxication while on duty be cause for immédtate dismissal.

13. Personal Matters.—The mental attitude of the truckman, his

freedom from unusual cares and worries, is important in the sat-

isfactory performaiice of his duties. For tis reason the Company

business worries, attachment suits, garnishments, assignments of

wages, and other pefsonal difficulties when ‘it appears that because

18, Company Drivers.—When there is a packin g or unpacking

job to do on an order which they are handling, and they, have

sufficient time,-it is logical to expect that they do this. Any

advance given for this purpose is to be charged to them in the

regular way and entered on their Truckman’s W eekly Report.

_Any’ ‘expenditure by them for packing materials or help i is like-

wise to be entered on these reports, and receipts obtained for all

. expenditures in’ the regular manner. When drivers of Com-

purchase asfauch gas as possible at alesignated lots.

‘the General Office of the C ompany first had and oljtained 1 in each

pany trucks are on parking lots and-have time available, namely

3. Painting and Lettering Only iuthorized paint, tolor;

design, and lettering are to be used.

27. Being on Time.—We cannot stress too strongly the great

importakce of being on time to lead preunload. If the Truckman

job much more diffeult. Should there be any delay’ due to,

unforeseen circumstances, vbe sure that the peor is ir are

advised. - es

28. Deadheading.—Schedules for deadheading are as* impor- '

tant as schedules when ‘Fruckman is handling a shipment. Should.”

there be any delay en route, proper parties must be advised.

Truckman cannot, of course, expect to load at 8:00 A. M-int the

morning if-he reports for Instructions at 8:00 A.M. He should

be sure fg receive Instructions in sufficient time to makg all neces-

sary arrangements ak proper help and loading.

* Gener ‘al Office on billed shipments, but

Fourth copy. will be delivered to shipper with original Te-

igtektons of Freight Billon C.O. D. shipments.

15. Securing Gross and Net Weight.—The/ gross weight is the

total, weight of the véhiclé and shipment or shipments thereon.

It.is preferred that the gross weight be determined on ‘the same

‘ seale us the tare weight was secured, but this is not absolutel

necessary. Certified weigh master must enter the gross. we eigh

on all copies.of the Bill of Lading. The net weight ofthe Ship-

ment is determined by, deducting the tare weight ;(weight, hefore

Toading) from the gross) weight (weight“after loading). Net

weight is the basis .on. whic h. the transportation: iatieies are

determined, . ;

16. Deter nining tlie Rate and Completing Freight Bill. —The

truckman will-have ree eived the Freight Bill i in duplicate with his

instructions to T ruckman, but’ should carny a small supply to be

used in emergencies, The. Freight Bill must show tlie: charges

for ull servires rendered as well asthe gry , tare, and net wejghts.

Usually when the Freight Bill is recfived by the truckman it

will be completed except for the showing, on the Freight Bill the

wrross, tare, and net weight, the éomputa ion of the transportation

charges, and, where the truckman ddes packing, the packing

= and unpacking chargés wilt halve to be completed by the .

_truckman in addition to the total of the Freight Bill.

When a shipmént has inte ee and weighed the trickwan

will, if-at all, possible, \ w rithout del jay call at the offic e, or agent,

‘

CARTER H. HARRISON VS. GREYVAN LINES, INC. 289

and have the- Freight Bill completed, If, however: it is impossible

to make a personal call at the offiee.or agent, due to distance-from

— the office, or agent, time of day, ete., the truckman will telephone -

the office, or agent, and they will furnish the weight. per hundred

poutids and the transportation charges together with the total

amount of the Freight Bill. Upon receipt of this information the

truckman will complete the Freight Bill be showing the gross, tafe,

and net weight in spaces provided: (taken from the Bill of Lading

wejght certificate). Enter the net weight and-rate per hundred

- pounds and total transportation charges in line povided for |

transportation. Then enfer total charges of Freight Bill in spaces

provided. This completes the billing of a C. O. D. shipment.

If a truckman finishes loading after office hours, he may con-

tact an office.or agent en-route between origin and destination. or

if there_is an office or agént at destination, he nav contac That

office or agent who will furnish the rate per hundred pound? and

the total transportation Charges. Truckman should also. ask office

or agent to check-his addition of thé total charges. ‘Truckman

spould likewise check the transportation charges when given over —

the phone to be sure that ‘there has been ne error in entering thes,

fivures, If there is no office or agent that can be contacted at

loading point, en route, or destination. the truckman should wire

the General Office for the charges:,. This wire should show ‘the

order number, name, arid net weight of shipment. and where the

reply is to be sent.- For example, assuming truckman is wiring

. from Joplin, Missouri; regarding order number 2000 Jones,

440 hwhich carries the net weight of 6.500 pounds and he desires

the reply to be’se t in care of Western Union., His wire

should read : “Net weight 6,500 pounds Jones order 2.000 wire care

Western’ Union Joplin, Missouri.”

The General Office will reply wnd advise him the rate per hun-

hed pounds and total transportation charges. ,

When completing a C. O. D. Freight Bill be sure that carbon is

ised to that the duplicate cony will show the charges that were

mide tothe shipper. There can be no exceptions.

When payment is feceived by truckman he will receipt both

copies of the Freight Bill and give originak receipted copy to

shipper.together with the 4th copy of the Bill of Lading.” The 4th

copy of the Bill of Lading is necessary since it gives the shipper

the weight of the shipment.

~The handling of billed shipments, is entirely different) from

©.O.D. When a shipment is to be billed the Freight Bill! will be

nade out by the Branch inthe same manner as C. O.W.D, and two

copies delivered to the truckman. Truckman need only obtain the

of these cards must be curried at all times to be used in emergencies

where the card has not been furnished with Instructions to Track-

man.

Unless the card js mailed promptly to the General Office giving’

the information requested, truckman will not receive credit on his

monthly Statement®on the date loaded. It will also hold up com-

missions to salesnien and agents.

18. Advising Shipper of °C harges—On C. O. D. orders the

shipper may desiye to know the amount he is tw pay at destination

so that he may have funds available for this purpos#. It is ime

portant that proper arrangements be made to nti the shipper

as ~" ly as possible as to the exact ¢ harges. .

. When the t isportation charge is determined by the office

or preci and the shipper desires to know the charges, that office or

agent should advise the shipper By telephone or wager nec@asary,

of bar charges.

ihe truckman should notify the shipper upon receipt of the chat

in whatever manner the shipper has requested such infor:

mation. .

‘The name truckinan is almost,a misnomer for aman in Gréyvan

less handling. Every container, whether packed by a Greyvan

packer or the shipper, must Je handled with care. Thitd, but

aah serious of claims, are those for lost items. Several methods -

have been devised which should prevent any losses whatever.

First of all, the truckman must be sure that he has ebtained every

item of furniture or other household goods to be moved. ‘This +

means that he must look. in all closets, on closet shelves, ip built-in

cabinets, i in the attic, basement, locker, garage, and behind doors.

Theie is no-exeuse for leaving any article in the residence. See-

ond, each and every iter must be: listed on the Inventory and :

checked off'at destination. Third, part-load shipmgnts should be

' sosseparated that there is no chance ef mixing. Fourth, stickers

, mre provided to identify containers, and tags which may be used

for furniture. In view of the above, it would seem almost im-

wre except. in cases of undue negligence, to have any losses.

60 FURNITURE LOADING AND UNLOADING

1. General.—-The ability to pack the maximum amount of furni-

ture in the amount of space available comes only. after considerable*

experience. However, Proper loading really consists onty of filling

every inch of space with some properly padded piece, considering,

of course, the weight of the article. In géneralgff)may be said,

place the heaviest items on’ the’ floor and work u progressively

-with lighter pieces. Load in tiers across the van and iry. to keep

each tier level and even. Be positive that there are no unpadded ”

- corners, edges or legs which might rub or be marred. Be sure

that no article is so loaded that-it is ipa strained position. Each

tier must be so tightly loaded and padded that there i is no lateral

movement from the motion and sway of the van.

2. Base.—Base articles are those pieces which by their’ very’

nature or weight require them to be placed on the floor of the van,

* and all pieces which are capable of supporting considerable weight

‘without injury to themselves. Before darting to load, the amount

of base available must jbe carefully estimated and must be used .

judicious! throughout ‘the load sq that all parts of the load are

’ properly supported. “Never use any fragile or lightweight piece -

~ as base and in turn don’t use heavy articles as. ‘topping.

3. Odd-Shaped ‘Pieces.—Try, to work all such, pieces into the

load as you go. Don’t save'them all until the last, because they will

be extremely difficult to use then, and as a rule, they cannot be

. loaded on the tailgate. .

_ 4, Mirrors & Pictures.—U nerated mirrors*and pictures can be

loaded: hetween mattresses to good advantage. If necessary they

may be put on top of the.load, but be sure that they are well padded -

_ and cannot slip down inté the load. °

5. Bed Springs.—These must never be loaded flat on the bottom |

of a load. Always startd them on edge, and try to nse them to

they may be unloaded among the first few pieces.

11... Tailgate Loads.—The greatest care must be used in packing:

.a tailgate load. If possible use barrels, wooden boxes, rough fur-

niture, garden tools; ete: ‘Load must be completely govered with

the tarpaulins, and well laced to van.

’ "Tailgates are provided on vans for-the distinct purpose of ace

commodating Within their weight and size capacities, those. por-

tions of shipments unable to be loaded inside the van. ‘There is no —

acceptable or justifiable reason why they should net be properly

used when necessiry. ae

Improper use has sometimes resulted in accidents, cargo damage,

fines, andl misunderstandings. Hereafter, the following instruc- .

‘tions relative to the use of tailgates are to be observed :

(ay Never load the tailgate beyond its size and safe ease

capacity.

(b) Never tes the van with tailgate Lowered Beyond a ais:

zontal Position. It is much preferable to have the rear of phe tail- ;

. gate higher than the hinge. This permits drivers of vehicles fo® = /

‘ lowing closely to observe the reflectors, tail, stop, and directional | :

~ lights—a’real safety precaution.

“( c) Always pack neatly and “square off” the tailgate load as

much as possible. Cover and protect all items loaded on the tail- é

gate with ample tarpaulin. Be Sure the load and tarpaulin are :

properly and adequately secured to avoid shifting and flapping of

the tarpaulin or whipping of ary loose-ends of rope. .

- (d) Never permit toose ends te hang or projeg sideways or.

below the bottom face of the tailgate—rear vision mtrrors may be

obseured as well as reflectors and rear lights. Practice Safety and

consideration for,other users of the highways.

(eo) W henever the van is being operated and the tailgate is in

other than a vertical position, Be Sure its use is properly indicated

a» Pa

._ 1. During the Time When Lights Are Required, display three.

li ighted red lanterns (or acceptable red electric Lights) at the rear

"edge of the tailgate, one at each extreme rear corner and one in

At Other Time display two red flags, one dt each extreme

ing van. j

13. Helpers Required —Use at least two helpers to help handle

any but very small shipments. . Pay particular attention to in-—

st ructions regarding extremely large or heavy @ticles and be sure

that enough help is used to handle them.

14. Left- Overs.—If there is a left-over, be.sure to leave only non-

essentials. omplete beds, refrigerators, and stoves must be taken.

Try to find out from the shipper the articles that he would prefer

to have left,

63 1. Interstate Commerce Commission Ruling.—The

Weight Basis has been prescribed by the Interstate Com-

merce Commission for all carriers in order known as Ex Parte |

All requirements of the Interstate Gommierce Commission have

the force of“law and it is of the utmost importance that you

govern, yourself accordingly. See:

2. Tariff .9.—-Drivers should all be familiar with the tariff,

a copy of which is engosed, for the purpose of verifying charges.

This copy must be retained with the van and be available at all

times. If it is necessary that it be replaced, same will be charged

‘to the driver,

4. Securing Weights.—Regufations specify that when weighing’

the van it shall be “Without the crew thereon! and when so.

weighed the gasoline tank on each such velticle shall bé full, and

the-vehicle shall contain all blank pads, chains, dollies, hand

trucks, or other equipment needed @ansportation of such ship-

ment.’ Regulations alt specify “Each carrier shall retain in the

vehicle, subject t® inspection and W eight Masters certified weight

or ticket as to each vehicle showing the ture weight, the date

weighed and a dist of special v enpcioesrced

° ? ,

Balin = . . °

Certified weight ticket shall be posted in the cab of the van ‘at

all times; however, this ticket will‘ not be-used at any. time to de-

termine the weight of the van in connection. with the handling -

of the shipment. Tractor and semitrailer are considered $e

units, cites ame

On every shipment truckmen must weigh the van befor@ load-

ing to weg 3 gape a weight. e 7

i. Tare Weight is the ‘weight of the vehicle with no shipment

on board, and without the crew, but with a full gasoline tank

and fully equipped with pads, ete., or.

2. Tare weight for part-loads is the weight of the equipmynt

as before, plus weight of shipment or shipments on board.

6A The Gross Weight is the total weight of the vehicle and

shipment ‘or shipments thereon. — ;

Net Weight of the shipment is determined by deducting the

tare weight (weight before loading) from the gross weight (weight

after loading). Net weight is the basis upon which the trans-

portation charges are determined. Example:

Gy..: Gomme MANN ooo a pes _--2-2.. 16, 480-1bs.

SN a bane en aiolnnenin alveoli unigpe tie Lei cia pais 12, 220 Ibs.

transportation rate would therefore be determined on the basis of.

4.260 Ibs. in accordance with the correct mileage. ¥

_' Whenever your vehicle is weighed you must secure a reeeipt

‘fron: the Weigh Master for such service. Usually the most is 10¢,

but should not in any case exceed 25¢ for eaclt weight secured.

The cost of weighing must be shown on Truckmen’s Weekly Re-

port and the receipt for same attached so that proper credit of

1, of this amount may be given to the truckman. ; 8

5. Scale Directory.—The Scale Directory is furnished with thie

Tariff giving the location of scales in various parts of the coun-

try. Locations are shgtn alphabetically by state and gity. This

list is by no means complete.- Every manager, agent, and driver

should forward to this offiée thgatame and address of other com-

panies operating other ceulew Oetlainie for eur weighing purpose.

As soon as sufficient scales have been located, a new directory will

be published. Where you find scaies listed in the Seales Direc-

_ tory that for one reason or another cannot be used for our pur-

pose, yon should also advise us giving the‘reason. ‘|

6. Freight Bill—When a,shipment i¢ moved from a resjdence *

the transportation rate cannot be determined unk the vara

mire that the charge is correct.

Obviougly the above procedure of having charges “furnished by

all supporting papers. ~~ |

2. If shipment is billed, the driver will not sign the freight bil

but will have the shipper sign both copies in the space provided

in the lower left-hand corner. The truckman will retain both

the original and duplicate copies of Freight Bill on billed j

and turn same in with Instractions toZruckmen and all supporting

‘papers. ot tia >

On C, O. D. orders the shipper may desire to’‘know the amount

he is to pay at destination so that he may have the~funds avail-—

~ible for. this purpose. It is important that proper arrangentents

be made to netify the shipper_as early as possible sis to the exact

charges. “s = ;

the truckman should netify the shipper upon receipt of the ~ ar

in Whateyer manner the shigper has requested such information.

7. Postal Cards.—With each set of instructions you will receive

a postal vard. This card is to be filled in as soon as you have

secured the net weight of the shipment. Complete all details and .

‘mail the card to the General Office immediately. ;

A small supply of these cards must be maintained by the truck-

ian to be used in emergencies where the card has not been furnished 4

with instructions. . ‘ , ag

Unless the card is mailed promptly to the General Office giving

the information requested, yon will not receive credit on your

monthly statement on the date Toaded. It will also hold up com-

missions to salesthen and agents. . ‘

5. Government Shipments.—The handling of shipments for the

Government requires: special paper work, weight slips, ete. not

required in the handling of ether shipments. - Ae

If the shipment is not handled in the manner requested by the

Government, it.is very difficult to collect for the shipment.

-In case where spparate weight slips are necessary, these will

le completed by the Weigh Master in addition to the weights

inserted-on the Bill of Lading. In such cases the Branch will

insert on the instructions in the space provided for the purpose, '

information as te just, what requirements are to be made, and

_ at the sume time will attach the number of weight slips necessary.

In view of the above, Branches Are Instructed to Set Out Clearly

doors, and into all cupboards and closets, so that no items will be

missed.

“5. More Than One Load.—In cases in which the size of the ship-

ment requires two or more van loads to handle, it will, of corse,

not be possible to list the articles in, accordance with the above

suggestions,. Therefore, in all such cases, the truckman will. list

all articles which he’ loads and the same will be done’ ‘by. each

truckman who loads any part of the same order.

‘6. Containers.—Containers should all be listed last on the In-

ventory and in one group. Every truckman should refer to in- —

structions-covering’ the use of labels, etc., on various con tainers,

since this fits in with the instructions outlined above. _ . ;

4. Carefulness.—BE-SURE TO WRITE PLAINLY AND

DESCRIBE ANY DAMAGES FULLY. TRUCKMAN MU ST. .

_ nature, which is to be loaded must, be listed on the Inventory, and

_* given a separate number. Note the sample Inventory attached for

guidance. In the space provided for condition before loading

_ describe each article carefully. [pbthe iteny is in good. condition,

merely use a check mark, but if the item is 3 damaged in any man-

° "ner, mark it as follows: “S on top” or “T on right arm” or

70 “M on right side” or, if the piece is marred and scratched

is not to be used unless the piece ig in generally bad condition be-

~ -cause of ‘scratches or mars. If one line is insufficient, to describe

the condition of any article, use an extra line. |

9. Signature on Loading.—When the Inventory is completed,

~ and before shipper is given his copy, be sure to fill in spaces pro-

vided on reverse side of form in duplicate just below the number

150 and have shipper or shipper’s agent sign. If unable to secuye —

signature of shipper or shipper’s agent, make such notation On. the

line after the word “Remarks”.

10. Moving from Storage—-When a shipesent i is being mioived .

from storage, the contracting office will mike a copy of the ware-

house receipt on the Inventory form. .In such cases, two sets of

the Inventory form will be used. The truckman will receive the

original white and pink, duplicate, the white triplicate wil] be

sent to the General Office with Settlement Information and the

pink quadruplicate will be retained in the local office file. In

making thjs copy of the warehouse receipt, every article should

’ be listed by number exactly as on the warehouse receipt. The

condition of the goods as shown on-the warehouse receipt should

be shown immediately after the name of the article, thus leaving

room for the truckman to make any ‘additional notation. at the

time of loading. The truckman should use extreme care in check-

ing goods from the warehouse on to his own ¥an, not only being

_ sure to check each item, but to note its condition very thoroughly,

particularly if the condition is other than as already noted. When

the loading is completed, have the warehouseman sign the Inven-

tory in duplicate in the space provided for the shipper. If unable

to secure the signature of the warehouse, make such notation after -

“Remarks”. Do not sign any receipt presented by tlie warehouse

tnless a notation is made op such receipt regarding the condition

of every article loaded. This is very important, not only for the

truckman’s protection, but. also for the protection -of the Com-

pany.. We cannot urge truckman too strongly to follow out these

instructions to the letter, particularly with reference to any ship-

ment loaded from or into a wareliouse, since our experience has

provéh that the most serious of our claims and those* which are

most difficult to adjust properly are ones which involve a ware-

house at some point in the transaction. -+

. 11. Leftovers—In every case where there is a left- over thie truck:

man must make out an Inventor *y in duplicate of each article which

yoes to make-up this left-ofr and this Inventory in duplicate must

then be turned over to the nearest office immediately, or

12. Tags.—The. use of tags is not required, but this system is

nh recommended. The use of tags

72910747 -—-4 :

‘ '

312 | CARTER H. HARRISON VS. GREYVAN LINES, INC.

\e ° <3

is applied to small articles,such as carpet sweepers and other small

articles of this nature, which may be easily: misplaced. It is also

‘advisable to usectags on-bedsprings, or other articles at any time.

when the-entire shipmerit may not be. packed together. Tags of |

different colors should be used ‘for different shipments on the same

load. These tags*will be furnished by the General Office, free of ~

charge, on ‘request. . rie i em ee

43. Unloading—Checking Inventory —Uponh leading, each

item must be checked off carefully and notation made under the

heading “UNL.” If the item is in the same-condition as when

loaded, insert a check mark, but if the article is in other than-the

condition when loaded; smirk with an “X”. If the item is marked

.» ,Wwith an *X” o nunloading, then the number of the article is

‘71 to be. placed-in-the siiack provided for éxceptions in the

‘and the condition of the article froted. Unloading ro $ must

be made in either blue or red pencil. ~~. ae

_ After unloading is completed, driver should have the shipper

should sign, or if no ene representing the shipper in on. hand at

the unloading point, then make that notation after the word “Re-

marks” on the back of the Inventory in connection with the un-

loading receipt. It should also be noted that both the loading

_and unloading. forms which are printed at the bottom of the Iniven-

tory should be filled out completely in every ‘detail, including

, 42 ; |! PACKING

While packing and unpacking service is, in general. per-

formed by Greyvan packers or agents, it is necessary that truck-

men do packing many times. Truckmen are therefore furnished

information below which is a duplicate of the requirements of cer

regular packers. 5 | ee

1. Checking.-—It is further of utmost importance that drivers

check all packing at the time of loading to ascertain if packing

services haye been properly performed and if all items which

oem

GARTER H. HARRISON VS. GREYVAN LINES, INC. 313

should be in containers have been packed. Dvivers should not

handle plate glass tops, marble tops, boat models, oi] paintings

and: other*stmilar items unless erated and lamp shades, clocks,

books, tale lamy »s, and other similar items unless béxed. Packing.

of many items T6 a necessary and important serv ica to Greyvan

shippers. Like our other services, we are satished only when we .

have done the best possible job.

2. Care-—Many articles which we must pack are’ priceless.

Extra care must be taken to Protect not only the shipper’s goods

but alos our interests. G ireyvan packing service must be standard

whether rendered in the largest cities where experienced packing:

crews are always on hand, or in smaller towns where the agents

or truckmen may be required to perforth this service. Rules

‘must be established: salesmén must see that shippers pay for

‘proper packing services, packers must ‘be cofapetent and truck- |

men must not take chances on handling goods which haye not

properly been prepared for shipment.

3. Artieles Which Must Be Packed: ;

The following items shguld always be pac ked in barrels or

wooden boxes: ‘Glassware, China; Small Lamps, Lamp Shades,

Kitchen utensils, Smalt electric appliances, Light bulbs, Small

ornaments, Clocks, Other fragile items and all articles too small

to handle individually. 7

Norv: If barrel is packed full,of china it is advisable to either

completely head. the barrel or‘to nail a cross piece on the top-of

the barrel for the protection of the items inside.

The following items should be pagked in strong cartons or bokes:

oe Bedding, Linens, Pillows, Curtajns, Cushions.

4. Articles Which Must Be Crated.

The following items. should be properly ek: ' Glass ‘tops,

Marble tops, Boat Models, Mirrors with fancy frames, Oil Paint-

ings. Pictures with valuable frames, Frameless mirrors, Grand-

father of Grandmother clocks, Glass curio cabinets.

Any experienced packer knows how to pack the various items

listed above, and-those of a similar nature which may have been

omitted. Greyvan will furnish information on the proper method

of packing any articles on special m nest. -

wo. 5. Refrigerators,—All gas or electric refrigerators must.

be properly serviced before being moved. . Thé shipper is to

pay the cost of such service, and the charge should be set up in the

Order for Serview for servicing at both loading point and dest ina-

tion.. If the shipper does not pay for this service, § should be

written into the order, “Shipper .will service own refrigerator ”

Do not think that because a truck is big in size that it can stand

abuse in comparison. " No truck will stayd the abuse that can be

given an ordinary automobile. If any truck driver tries to get

automobile performance out of a truck, he will soon find that the

truck will not stand the strain and unit and road failures will

come common orcurrenc The driver who abuses his truck is

a losing proposition to the Gompany, as the cost ef such abuse

will more thar” offset the revenue from the shipments hauled by

No. other business in the world puts as much ofats gross reve-

The margin of profit is usvaliy so small that it- becomes vitally

important that operating, expenses be kept at the absolute mini-

nti by every means at our command.

driver to the. rules of procedure outlined in this Magqual and to his. -

intefligent cooperation with the Equipment Divisigh. ‘

_ ee f GENERAL MAINTEN ABCE

1. Routine Habits.--Every driver must form de finite, routine

habits in caring for his truck. 5 mY

A. At every stop, walk around the truck and inspect to deter-

mine if everything is in order. Kick all tires, check spare tire

fas “thers, check tailgate f&tenings. “check lights, ete,

: Cheek wheel and axle nuts ane studs at. frequent intervals.

The time between checks will vary wiNiyhe individual truck, but

are necessary so that arrangements may be made to have the wor

done. It is usually: advantageous tNiandle most repairs in Chi

cago, and to do this it is necessary that the Equipment Divisio

be advised of all needed repairs in sufficient time to hanWe prop

-_ ‘ e

Monthly. Equipment Report In order to keep us fully: in

Sodeied on thie condition of equipment, each truckman’ will fill

out and forward to the Equipment Division a copy of the Monthly

Equipment Report. ‘This should .be handled at approximately

the same time each month and should be itt as much detail, and

as aecurate, as possible” Bach:truekman is expected to correct

(as promptly as possible) eath item that is not in proper con-

dition. :

This report i ts bound with sufficient copies in ‘each booklet to

last approxithately twelve months and ‘is s available at any com-

pany effice,

4. ‘Urgent Repairs-—When repairs are needed: at once, the

following procedure must be observed :

A. Take trac to factory branch or authorized dealer of make

of truck that is being driven, ifspossible ; jj. ¢.. Ford to Ford dealer,

*'[nternational to International Harvester branch or dealer, etc:

B. If the time required to get the truck to a shop and an estimate

of-repairs made is ‘suth that a delay in schedule will result, wire

the General Office immediately. A sample wire covering this

_ situation is shown below : “Have Differential Trouble Two Miles

East Hantington, Wiring Details Later, Reach Me Western Union,

Huatington™ (or name of garage). + ,

&) Cc. fence hh estimate of cost and time necessary to coi-

plete re

D. Determine if, garage is agreeable to bing us direct rather

than handling on C. OLD. basis.

E. Send wire. to General Office giving complete details. A

follow-up wire to that shown above may read as follows : “Differ-

ential Cost. $40.00 C. O. D.. Can Arrive a Tomorrow

Noon, Advise.”

Aewire worded as above that has been progeeded by thé first

example shown above would give the General Office the following

informations The truck developed differential trouble two miles

east of Huntington, but bWeauge of the distance from the garage.

and the nature of the repairs, the driver is of the opinion that the

repairs wilt requige so much time that there -will be a. delay in

schedule. ; Sy

The'second wire indicates that the total cost of all repairs will

hy $40.00, and instead ef arriving in Pittsburgh the first thing in

the morning, the shipment will be deJayed until noon. Tt also

4 , ‘

CARTER H. HARRISON VS. GREYVAN: VINES, Ane. weer

shows that-the shop doing the repairs is riot agreeable t to biiling

_ us direct but must have the money when the repairs are completed...

Another example of a typical wire may be as, follows: "Need

Brake Lining, Bill Direct $21.00, Can Make Se hedule, Asivise.’

This wire shows the Generat Office that a brake lining job is.

necessary before proceeding further. It also showsethat you have -

truck at shop and that shop is agr eeable to making repairs at cost

of approximately: $21.00, sending bill direct to General Office,

The time required to make repairs js such that instead of arriving

at unloading point at 7:00-A. M., driver will arrive about 9:.00

A.M. °

-- F. In the event that the estimate of: repairs is over $50. 0), the

truckman is not to proceed with repairs until specific authorization

has-been obtained. from the Equipment Division.

G. Disposition of Replaced Parts.—All parts which ate re-

placed on compafiy-owned equipment must be returned to Chicago

as soon as possible. Unless the Equipment Division specifies jhe

way in which parts-are to be returned to Chicago, the driver will

_ carry same on van until routed into Chic ago. :

H. Whenever repairs are made in cities in which 9 we maintain

’ branch offices, payment of repair invoices will be made by the

branch manager upon presentation of the repair invoices andAwire

or letter of authority from the Equipment Division to the driver

orto that branch office,

I. Winter Operation. —In order to operate. a motor tr uck at

haximum efficiency during-the winter, months there are a@umber

of-factors which must be: -given tlose, attention. We are listing

then belaw in order that fione be overlooked arid to insure that

each truckman is reminded of them in order that all trucks be

operated with the maximum efficiency.

(1) Stir to prevent sludge and excessive condensation it

is Mporkgnt that the motor be kept at an operating temperature

of 160 to 180 degrees at all times

(2) Before starting out after the ngotor hgs cogled off, driver

should be sure that he idles it sufficient hy to avoid operating with

_acold motor. ,

x6 (3) Idling of the motor will result in a waste of sesoline

and also in increased repair bills, because of oil dilution.

from unburned gasoline. The idling should be kept at an absolute

minimum.

(1) Oil dilution will eleo be brought about by excessive use of

the choke, and this’should be avoided.

(5) Before any antifreeze is added to the cooling ‘System, it

should be checked to make sure that all porte are tight and water-"

proof, |

Be wer

SF. . » AVQID CLAIMS cm

324, CARTER H. HARRISON VS. GREYVAN LINES, INC.

(6) Antifreeze will be carried in’ stock at the General Office

Information as to kind@ and prices will be furnished each truck-

man before cold weather sets in.

(7) Regardless of the type of antifreeze used, truckman should

watch it qarefully to make sure that, at all times, he has sufficient

protection for the Weather .in which he is operating. This is

particularl( important when stopping for the night,-or when.

parked. If he has too much antifreeze for the weather in which

he is operatmg, it will undoubtedly _ result in a waste of this

Material,

(8), A battery is subjected to more punishment during the

winter both because of operating the lights more, and also be-

CAUSE ofl battery is not as efficient. in cold weather as when it is

warm; consequently, itis important that the battery be kept fully

charged.

(9) When an engine is operating perfectly there 3 is practically

no carbon monoxide gas in the exhaust; however, in most cases

‘there isa trace of this; and as you know, this gas is extremely

poisonous. Drivers should at all times make sure that they have

- sufficient’ ventiJation, and if one becomes drowsy while driving,

‘it. may be the result of carbon monoxide. This gas does not have

any odor, and it is very dangerous because of this. . It is better

to-be a little uncomfortable fron the cold than to be _- by

carbon monoxide. 4s

(10) Check the skid chains to make sure e that they are ‘in good.

condition."because a chain which is broken or does not properly

fit is of little value when it is needed. ‘

It mist be remembered that it is necessary to use more caution

ee driving on, ice and snow than‘on dry. pavement.

Accessories —Under no éondition are’ atiy ‘accessories ‘to be

pure arate for, os installed on company-dwned equipment without

specific authorization from the Equipment Division.

6. Motor, Gil—Lubricating oil of first quality must be used at

all times, At most times the cOimpany has on hand in Chicago

a supply. of such oil, and this oil should be picked up when the

truck is in Chicago in quantities sufficient to eliminate the neces-

sity of purchasing. oil on the road. Wher it is necessary to pur-

chase oil 6n the outside, do so only in case lots (24 quarts).

Do not add any motor dope to either the gas or the oil. Graph-

ite-loaded prod ysgs can cause, more trouble than they can possibly

do good; consequently; they have no place i in a.track thotor.

88 7, Tires.—Tires are one of the larger items of expense on

our trucks, and to reduce this expense it is necessary that all

drivers be familiar with and follow the instructions shown below :

(1) Inflation—Each tire is designed for a maximum mideage

at a given air pressure. If this pressure is allowed to drop below

‘that for which it is designed, there will be excessive flexing in the

side ‘walls which will result in the-generation of excessive heat,

Which will, it} turn, catise early tire failures. Low pressure is also

a cause for abnormal tread wear, reducing tire life considerably. .

Overinflation causes excessive tread wear and may also result in tire

bruises from rocks or other sharp objects which may shorten the

tire life considerably. The recommended tire pressure on the three

sizes of tires on company-owned equipment are as follows :_.

50 x 20-—60 Pounds. i

§25 x 20---65 Pounds. i

900 x 20-——70 Pounds. ;
