Having Side Skirts Installed On My Trailer Tomorrow.

[Duck]

You ever hear of something called an "average?" Of course not...

A 90- day average gives you a good handle on what a change did for you. Long term averages smooths out those bumps in the data.

Very long term. There's seasonal changes, different winds, temperatures, winter fuel vs summer,

Tires get smaller as they wear, etc.

You're the one who decided to nitpick this anyway.

Well if he starts getting 12mpg, he'll know all those things are worth it.

Then he can become a consultant to the megas and make megabucks.

No one is "nit picking" here @Duck - except for you. There's no argument that a better approximation to the actual value occurs as the sample size is increased, but the approximation converges to the actual value fairly rapidly unless the error is skewed in one direction only... that's usually not the case.

It's certainly better than the What*Me*Worry wild ass guess approach.

I suppose you're aware that by changing three things at once there's no way to attribute any performance change or fraction thereof to any specific one of the changes...

Definitely aware.

The air filter has had more than enough testing via others to know it is an improvement. If nothing else, a performance improvement.

Side skirts have pretty consistently proved themselves as well. I verified this at Schneider running similar lanes with and without them. MPG and stability boost.

Getting the work done now was about time management. Taking some time off for spring break with the family, so it’s a great time to leave the trailer with Great Dane and leave the truck with Freightliner.

How’s it look?

I won’t see the trailer til Tuesday or Wednesday.

How's it look? There's a black thing under it.

Pictures when you do. Please/thanks



Hey, while I think of it..... how far is it from the back of your cab fairings to the front of your trailer? Or just back of cab to front of trailer

There ya go.
