Good thread. Thanks for posting.

As to what truck companies want and don't want, well, those same entities tend to forget how heavily subsidized they already are. What lack of aero costs all of us is not a small consideration (or just big trucks) in any ten year period. A discussion of direct and indirect subsidies would have to ensue, (not to the point), yet it is safe to say that crying over labor and repair costs is a part of adapting new technology. It is more to the point that some sort of floor for adaptation is needed by all entities.
