Needs a tail - seeing more and more tails on the OTR trucks in the midwest.

NickelB, keep an eye on the McDonalds road train. Everytime I see that trailer i'm smiling :) not because of the food ofcourse.

The nanny EU has reduced its deathgrip on trucks and rigs regulation in order to make 'm more efficient, so we'll be seeing more aerodynamic cab and add-ons in the future.
In the UK, which has less stringent vehicle height regulations than the continental EU, you already see a lot of these: http://www.donbur.co.uk/eng/products..._trailers.php# |

You'd think that by 2015,the USA would have heard of capitalism and profit-making. |
The added benefit of some aerodynamic improvements - closing off the sides of lorries, rigs, the trailer gap, or wheel arches - will be reduced bicycle deaths as the trucks turn right, into the cyclists .
