Last week, we ran a program on technology, products and devices for truckers displayed at the Mid-America Trucking Show.

Land Line Magazine Senior Editor Jami Jones and Land Line Now Producer and Senior Sound Engineer Barry Spillman had walked the aisles of the show, looking for the stuff that was good, and the stuff that was snake oil.

One product that they weren’t sure of was Eco-Flaps – a kind of mud flap that looks like a plastic grille, a design intended to let air pass through the mud flap while stopping the mud and rocks the flap’s intended to stop.

So Barry and Jami both asked our listeners to tell us what their experience with the product was.

We were flooded. And it was great.

We heard that they do handle spray better. That they do still block mud and rocks. That truckers are seeing better fuel mileage when using them.

In fact, the only negative response we received was from a trucker who hadn’t even tried the Eco Flaps.

With all of that said, I think I need to make a few things clear.

First, we got the message. We don’t need more calls or e-mails – in fact, Jami Jones has been so flooded that she’s having trouble answering them all. We appreciate the response, and we thank all of you who called or wrote, but believe me, we have what we need.

Second, you might think we must be getting money for all this – absolutely not. We don’t even sell the ads that run on Land Line Now – that’s all handled by the folks at Sirius XM.

We did this because we see so much snake oil out there, and we report on it. But we know there are good inventions. And it sounds like this is one.

Every once in a while, we like to bring you the good news. And this is one of those times.
