Proof of effectiveness of rear mounted air foils & air puffers on snow plow trucks

Van Buren County Road Commission:  1/13/2012 approximately 10:00 a.m.;  east of Paw Paw, Michigan.  Both trucks on snow routes since 4:00 a.m.:

Top picture:  Truck equipped with rear mounted air foil and timed air "puffers" on tail lights.  Driver had not brushed any snow off rear of tuck all morning.

Bottom Picture:  Truck has no rear mounted air foil and no air "puffers" on tail lights.  Driver brushes snow off tail lights every hour.
