Trailer Aerodynamics Trailer aerodynamics can be improved minimizing the gap between the tractor and the trailer, to reduce air turbulence. Specifying wheelbase and fifth-wheel settings that position the trailer as close to the rear of the tractor as possible can reduce tractor-trailer gap...

I drove a cargo van then a straight truck, now a Tractor Trailer. T.T. is the only way to go... Especially if you want to go independent. I have many loads on my T.T. that could be put in a Van or Straight Truck. If they want to pay me $3.00 a mile for dedicating a 53' trailer to one #...

I stand corrected, I should have checked my math more carefully. It should read 50 Million Dollars not 5 Billion dollars Thanks LBD, glad someone is paying attention. 6 million miles a day x 365 days = 2.2 billion annual miles (5+ million loaded miles per day from Schneiders web site and...
