I always figured (with no evidence) that the 1980's FLC model Freightliner had the worst aero as a tractor. The hood sloped downwards from radiator to windshield. In my mind they were always, "hog nose Freightshakers".

So how were your neighbors with the Jake full-on down the hill into the neighborhood, rappin' them free-flowin' 10" no-muffler stacks at 0230?
