Truckers look for every cent. There was one trucker on here I recall saying he nearly doubled his mpg by using skirting. That's noticeable money. Though I do think each driver averages closer to 130k a year but I know one who does over 200k a year... or used to. A million miles a year would be tough to get with our speed limits.
