I take dinner near the interstate each week and can tell you that a lot of the Mesilla Valley Trucking Co. rigs are going by with the Trailer-Tails folded and stowed.I don't know why this is so.

Perhaps because the drivers/warehouse workers don't understand the utility of them, are not compensated extra for using them, and it represents make-work to them since they're not paying the gas bill. Unless the drivers are contractors, in which case they would use them if they knew they'd save money...
Lack of training?
