Fridrich's old van #2, as shown below, had a 620 cubic foot volume, a weight capacity of 4,000 pounds and with its 25.1 horsepower engine, it could squeeze out 12 miles per hour top speed.

Between the dirt road, bumps, ruts, and its solid rubber tires, 12 miles per hour was plenty fast, you couldn't stand more! Fully equipped and out the door (no sales taxes then) the total truck cost was $3,240.00.

Our new tractor/trailer units hold over 4,000 cubic feet, have a weight capacity of 40,000 pounds and are powered to maintain normal interstate highway speeds. With radial tires and "Air-Ride" springs, our cargo gets as smooth a ride as a limo passenger. Today's prices for a fully equipped tractor/trailer top $135,000.00 in addition we pay over $3,240.00 per year per tractor/trailer in truck taxes.
