Hi Wardner,

Back in those days everyone had a loading dock. If the local enterprise didn't have one, they would use the one down at the railhead.

When the truck got out to the farmers place, the closest bank was were it was usually loaded or unloaded.

I've also seen farmers dig a "dock" into the ground. Trouble with this was that it had to be rather long, 'cause those old trucks had problems crawling back out when they were loaded.

We used to have neighbors drive for miles to back into our bank to load or unload their tractors.

To my mind, this is still the safest way to haul a tractor, but then, I'm an old guy too.

A side note: The tractor was always backed on.
