  1. My opinion, and we all know about opinions; but having worked with engineers in fluid dynamics in the past, what my learning was that sure these items work in the engineering sense of the fluid dynamics, but pay back or value requires many many miles, i.e trucking companies, whose trailers are always on the road justifies the $200 for a trailer set. I'd suggest that for most of us that only trailer a few times a year, I'm not sure you will get value. Now, you being on a V nose, or a Triton 167 narrow, compared to my Triton clam shell, which is like a parachute, that I have seen the fuel consumption savings with. Again, just my opinion, and I accept my opinion could be full of "malarky". Cheers

  2. I think the fact that they AREN'T commonplace, proves their ineffectiveness. If they worked, the fleets would have embraced them a few years ago.

  3. Usually in the fall it is rough. If there had been a lot of rain, it is really bad. When the loggers are coming with those big trucks in either direction, you are far better to give them right of way even if they don’t have it. I pull right over and nearly stop and let them go. In the cold of winter, the road is really good except when they have a thaw and a refreeze. Then the road is glare ice but smooth. You can still navigate it all right though. it is not a public road but the company allows the general public on it. That is why you get out of their way!
