Compare the costs of shipping 1.2m × 1.2m × 2.4m rectangular bales (density = 175kg/m3 ) with the semi-truck-trailer combination in Example 4.9 and the use of a $65,000 straight truck with a 6.5 m...

Compare the costs of shipping 1.2m × 1.2m × 2.4m rectangular bales (density = 175kg/m3 ) with the semi-truck-trailer combination in Example 4.9 and the use of a $65,000 straight truck with a 6.5 m long flat bed, 8 tons capacity. a. Determine the equivalent annual distance travel to move the same material as the larger truck system. b. Calculate the expense to operate the truck on a $/ton basis and state which truck system is better. c. If the hauling distance was reduced from 50 to 10 km how would the economic picture change?
