It does. Thanks

He dont know he is just a truck driver, now if you asked him a quesiton about food you would already have your answer

Mainly for gas mileage. it keeps the air from gettin under the trailer where there is a lot of stuff underneath to cause a turbulance. It helps the trailer flow through clean air. Less Drag. Just like the fender skirts and air dams on a Nascar.

They do help fuel economy but like Big H said they stay tore up so it appears to me any savings would be offset bymaintaince expense.

I thought that's how you told boy trailers from girl trailers since they too big to turn over and look.
