On the Road with Henry Albert

Hello to all,

Today is Tuesday, October 6th and I am travelling toward Cleveland, NC. I will unload in Cleveland and pick up a shipment in Charlotte, NC. I will take that shipment on to Laredo, TX.

I wanted to update you on the progress I am making toward fuel mileage. Presently, I have gained  4 and 5 tenths in my fuel mileage. So far my theory that an aerodynamic trailer is the perfect match to an aerodynamic tractor. The air flow is already smooth as it leaves the tractor, making the perfect marriage between truck and trailer. I have noticed two other benefits upon putting on the Air Slippers. One being, reduced road spray in the rain. Second, it improved vehicle stability in turbulent weather.  The return of investment on the product should be under six months.

I recently learned that the Air Slippers, made by Fleet Engineers is available through Freightliner parts and distribution network.

In the near future, I plan on making additional aerodynamic enhancements to the Cascadia and trailer. I’ve decided to only test one at a time in order to reveal each potential for fuel savings.

Henry
