Are owner-operators interested in discount side skirts?

We are in the advertising business and I am noticing side skirts on fleets.

If we get advertisers to pay some (not all) of the cost of the skirt, how interested would you and other o/o's be?

This only makes sense for someone who is considering side skirts anyway.

The skirts wouldn't be free, just heavily discounted from an msrp of $2100 (includes installation). How big a discount would you need to carry an ad on a skirt you'd consider buying anyway? That's what I want you to tell me.

To pre-empt those questions I know are racing through your mind:
Don't worry, the ads wouldn't be embarassing or dumb, they'd be relevant to other highway travelers, like billboards. You choose which ad you want and see a picture of the skirt with the ad before you buy it.

The skirts are good quality from a major manufacturer with multi-year warranty, no p.o.s. Chinese knockoffs.


Besides if/how much you'd pay, please share any other info you think I should know.

I haul both, skirted and non. I don't see any fuel savings, but I do notice a lot more trailer action with side winds.

I did see someone who made their own side skirts the other day, out of I swear a sears metal shed.
