Tool Box for Dry Van trailer with skirts

Which is that?

 

I’ll read up on those, as I’ve never heard of the brand.

 

What I would caution you about are all the moving parts. It’s just like aero tails and skirts using fiberglass rods that bolt into brackets, the pivots and associated hardware all wears out. Wind never stops, even when the truck stops. We went through some of this, at Dot. They finally switched to rigid-mounted solutions, to get away from constantly replacing parts.

I’d keep it as simple as possible and do what Henry Albert and Nussbaum have done with their full-length skirts. There are only the flip-up panels at the tandems, which is a manageable amount of hardware to deal with. You could run the skirting all the way up to your Flow Below system. It looks clean, so should be clean to airflow.

 

Their website on the bottom said average fuel savings is 1mpg. That is absolute blasphemy. No side skirt on a trailer will give you a full mpg.
