Page "hobbies" Paragraph 1092

The reason: today's components and lumber packages are far too bulky to be handled by a truckdriver and a helper.

So manufacturers have pioneered a new type of vehicle -- the self-unloading carrier.

It cuts the lumber dealer's cost because it takes only one man -- the driver -- to unload it, and because it unloads in a fraction of the time and at a fraction of the cost of hand unloading.

And it helps the builder because it can handle a more efficiently packaged load, can deliver it to the best spot ( in some cases, right on the roof or inside the house ), and never takes any of the builder's high-priced labor to help unload it.
