    Yup. Every new intermodal trailer we get from Utility,Great Dane and CIMC is getting those skirts installed before the trailers are put into service. Our Tucker (Georgia) terminal has been VERY BUSY working on those.

    How the hell are they installing foils on a container chassis without them getting torn up, maybe if it's privately owned, by pool owned, those things will be gone in a month. I've seen Prime flats with them, they look dumb.

    Wyoming has different levels, but on that day: 2/7/17 13:32 I-80 Exit 235, Walcott Jct - Laramie: Closed to light, high profile vehicle, both.

    It was updated at 16:04 to show the exact same message, but the entire interstate was also listed as closed Laramie to Walcott WB due to crash.

    It was updated later at 19:53 with same message and again at 23:32 same message.

    We use regular 53 foot reefer and dry vans. Even then before we started putting skirts on them the railroads were damaging them(BNSF is especially careless with them,tearing up the bottom lips left and right).

    There is a difference between a regular trailer and a container/chassis. You said earlier it was a container trailer, which implies a chassis.

    Married 30 years, 4 kids and 4 grandkids.
    I can't understand one level, let alone different levels.

    Uh,no I didn't. Our company's trailer fleet consists of reefers and dry vans. Some of the reefers have intermodal stickers on them but they're all able to be used for intermodal operations. IMG_0210.JPG
