Thanks for the info, aero.

I'd say 71,000 lbs is pretty high---isn't 80,000 a typical top weight?

I looked around Waggoners Trucking Home Page a bit, but I only found this confusing reference and inconclusive picture:

"... nose and rear bubble cones for added clearance and vehicle protection..."

(no mention of aerodynamics, but the photo of the blue tractor-trailer seems to show some kind of structure on there behind the rear corner of the trailer, but the photo's too small)

The Waggoners Trucking (Compay Info) [then click on "Equipment"]

I did notice Waggoners has a specialty of transporting wind turbine blades

btw: Did their drivers you talked to say that the boattails were a big headache at the loading dock? Could they feel a difference at 65 mph?
