    READING is fundamental "Fleets and owner-operators who travel into California must have aerodynamic devices, unless they registered with CARB on a phase-in option (which provides an alternate compliance schedule)" .......they only need to update 10% of the trailers this year..... they have done that....

    The new trailers have them but other than that I believe only the 800000 series has them, if they're still in one piece. Does the ruling say what condition the skirts have to be or the size? I've come across one with part of it missing. Wonder if that still counts.

    trailer pool is over 16,000 total
    all 2008 some 2007 have skirts..... and ALL of the 2015's (over 2,000) have them so they are well over the 10% required at this time
