Pizza pans on long haul trucks

[Weather Spotter]

On my recent trip of 1,800 miles I saw lots of long haul trucks, about 10 of these had aero covers on the back two axles of the power unit (cab).

From what I saw as we passed the trucks (I know we were going to fast for FE) the caps looked like a manufactured product, with a hole for checking tire pressure.

The first one I saw turned my head as I went, cool large pizza pans like on my car

I only saw these on trucks in Texas, & Oklahoma none in Missouri, Illinois, Indiana or Michigan.

AT Dynamics makes some. They make trailer tails & side skirts as well. I don't know if Mooneyes makes them that big or not.

Did they have holes for the bolts? There was a trucker on this site who had some installed on his truck. His company did it. Unfortunately I can't find his posts right now.

No bolt holes, looked very nicely done, with hole cut out for access to valve stems.

On the trip about 15% of trailers had side skirts, trucks with aero hub caps all had side skirts on the trailers.

This is what Schneider is using on their trucks...



Press release...

Deflecktor is the company who makes them...

They looked like the AT Dynamics ones.
I saw some schneider trucks but none of them had wheel covers.

Schneider only has put them on 1500 of their trucks...they've got a whole bunch of trucks...

Some of the drivers are taking those wheel covers off cause they don't like the way they look...

I like the look of the sliver pizza pans, chrome would be better.

I saw some AirTabs on the backsides of a couple trucks a while back. Haven't seen the smooth wheels yet. XD
