    Yes, but now that Flow Below had taken off, more test results are in and I guess Freightliner believed in it enuf to make it an OEM part.

    Remember, Daryl is our CFO, the money man. He wants to keep overall costs if the trucks down and not have to increase the payments for the drivers. Most of that is due to Chris and his wheeling and dealing.....that will be missed in the future for sure.

    I have to hand it to JCT/Chris/Daryl, the new 2017 trucks are still at 21¢/mile....with all the little extras.

    They could at least carry it in the shop so we could buy and install with our own accounts..

    Like the centrimatics.

    They tried talking me out of the centmramatics when I bought them At loves. The loves gave them to me for 75 bucks when I replaced a tire so it was cheaper there then the shop.

    The problem I see with that, from an inventory standpoint, is thousands of $$ tied up in inventory, just sitting there. (over 250k worth). The deal that was made was for 300 units. That's practically a trailer load. No space and perhaps only a few dozen customers. If they already come on the truck, that's a different scenario.

    Last time I checked, the flow below system with the polished wheel covers was around $2100, not including install retail from them. JCT drivers would have paid less than half of that. Not allowed to give exact figure, but a SUBSTANTIAL savings.
    You can view everything at www.flowbelow.com
    All the options, etc

    You can..but I think you have to have the minimum 5k 1st. Don't hold me to that tho. Daryl did tell me that if a driver had the funds, he wouldn't say no. He just didn't stipulate if the driver needed the price of the flow below or use the excess of $5k

    They should just call up Hobby Lobby and ask them since they fitted all their trucks, how much they are saving on fuel for their whole fleet.
