Cmon, do you really think I'm inventing this stuff? At least you found a well thought out list of enhancements.

Are you familiar with the company or document on a more in depth level than finding it via Google? I ask because no where in the report / proposal does it cover hard numbers done with testing. Meaning over the road tests.

I know its unfair to compare passenger vehicles with these monsters, but those gains seem a tad conservative for what they do. Take any of those mods the boat tail for example and apply it to a vehicle and the gains will be greater than 5%.

This change in our attitudes of it is what it is will only be changed one of two ways; By government mandate (Unlikely), or through grass roots involvement educating one at a time. This example you gave is it a positive start to solving that issue, but I would be encouraged to try several alternatives that I feel would be marked improvements on what I saw in the document.

Unlike the passenger car market, which is getting smarter by the day, the trucking industry is old school and driven by individuals who quite frankly felt this is the best way to provide themselves with a comfortable life. Most truck drivers are not skilled laborers. Therefore educating them and their superiors on how to save money is the key and the most difficult piece of this puzzle.

So I hope to be able to take this type of challenge head on and succeed where others have failed, I hate low lying fruit and this seems to be a great industry to make a difference in.
