For a while here they were really slowing down. Probably when diesel got so high trucking companies tried everything they could to try to save on fuel. Now I see some (not all) picking up the pace again. Cheaper fuel and the aerodynamic kits might have something to do with it. Some of these things really go and most are good drivers and just run with traffic whatever that happens to be that day. I have often wondered how much power some are making.

I remember some of those trucks would pour black smoke so bad if you were following you have to back off and let them get ahead a ways in order to see. One thing I notice now is you don't see near the black smoke any more even when they are really working them.
