I've never seen a truck with hub covers. I didn't think they cared that much.

I think their 'care' coefficient went up as Diesel hit $4.00/gallon.

Helps when you have a giant fleet with thousands of tractors. Some lobbyist made it 100% deductible for them, no doubt.

Yes...Schneider National requires them to be on all their trucks. The company that made them are Deflektor.

I believe I posted about this about a year ago...

BamZipPow -

Thanks for the info. I wanted to say they were on a Schneider Semi, but I forgot the name. I have seen the Deflecktor video before but I didn't recognize them spinning.

Moon discs are in short supply now that NASA is grounded. Houston we have a problem finding Eco friendly rims and hubcaps...
