    What gets me, they do that to the truck, but with all our ragged trailers they darn sure won't improve the aero on the trailer...which renders these useless...they'll spend on stupid stuff like this, but delay the driver while the purchasing department haggles over a few bucks on replacement parts

    just a thought, since the trailers have NO markings, does Pol actually own the trailers? or are they leased? Trying to save that little bit of money, to overcome the cost of the government regulations that have caused the inefficient, undependable engines we are all stuck with.

    Regarding trailers when you grab a trailer
    make sure to check the paperwork
    in the nose of the trailer.
    Last 2 I pulled were overdue for the annual inspection,
    one of them was 5 months out of date.

    They're owned...some of them are trade trailers from other companies.

    I actually saw a 2nd, older Prostar with those same Aero kits...1 blowout and that is a $900 loss...I doubt they'd survive if our trucks had duals...let alone withstand a super single blowout.

    *update...talked to the shop about these things. They were a promo-gift from the manufacturer...there is no current plan for us to get these

    Stay in the truck, park at the Loves and go to Buckles for a nightcap, maybe walk or take the limo to the steakhouse and try the 72, I prefer the small ribeye.
