Dear Jack,

Enclosed are a couple of photos of my tractor with your Airtabs installed. Sorry, but my pictures were more about the boats than about my tractor.

I used your Airtabs on my tractor hauling boats coast to coast. It would have been difficult for me to say exactly if I in fact saw 6% savings in fuel. My loads varied so much and with weather and winds and going up hill on the west trip and basically down hill on the east trip it would have been very difficult to accurately calculate. However one thing that I immediately noticed after I installed your Airtabs was that I went "Straight down the road" . I was so noticeable that I commented to several of my driver colleagues how easy it was to drive my rig as I was really going straight down the road.

Moreover, one could analyze that I were going straight down the road and also getting less dirt build up on the back of my tractor that the Airtabs were in fact directing that air turbulence down the side of my boats and I was going through the air much more smoothly and therefore getting better fuel mileage.

I have taken the "wings" and overcab air foil off but will be replacing the Airtabs on the tractor and adding Airtabs to our 5th wheel RV when we start doing some serious travel next year.
(Airtab, LLC note to this statement. Richard is retiring and will be using his tractor to pull his 5th wheel RV. He wants to decrease the frontal pressure by removing the overcab airfoil.)
