    It's Monday, so they may very well be swamped with applicants from the weekend.

    I am really now a believer in the trailer skirts. Dead headed to Amarillo from ABQ with a non-aero trailer. Got 7.8mpg (QC average) on that dead head. Picked up loaded trailer at Tyson. Trailer has side skirts and 39k in the box. Fueled up at Johnson's Corner in Colorado. Averaged 7.8 mpg since last fill up at the UTE Travel Plaza off of US-491. Speed was 57mph, fifth wheel in same position, and tandems on both trailers in same position.

    The same fuel mileage on an empty non-aero trailer vs a loaded aero trailer. It does help. Still not sure about the under tray system.

    I am with you on that one I have called and left messages and emails and have not had anyone get back to me so I figure that they have more important things to do.

    So, some figures for the 2nd quarter:

    Dispatched 34134 miles
    Actual - 35514
    Just over 4% extra. Considering I always choose the economical route, I can't complain.

    MPG since FlowBelow installed - 8.11
    MPG before FlowBelow installed - 7.57
    Overall 2nd Qrt MPG - 7.79

    MPG improved a full .5 MPG. Well worth it.

    It's an aerodynamic system that I bought. It puts a skirt between the wheels, on the mud flap hanger and wheel covers.
