Drag is worse compared to an empty flat, but compared to a flat with anything that catches the wind it's better. I haul lots of stuff that would make some pretty dirty air.
I don't have much issue from any "sail" effect. It was worse with the Roll Tite as the kit would start to take on a banana shape in high winds. The Quick Draw stays much straighter due to the tighter tarp. Yeah, a flat is better in a crosswind, but the price tag is a much bigger disincentive.

Like I said, a covered wagon or a flat like Jfaulk has is what rules the roost up here in the steel belt. I'm just going with a step to get things caught back up and some cushion in the bank. Then I can start looking at something fancy LOL -
