Waller Truck is continuously looking for new ways to improve the environment and decrease fuel cost.  Our latest initiative includes adding "Green Wings", also known as side skirts, to the fleet's new trailers.

100 Stoughton 2012 trailers equipped with Ridge Corporation's Green Wing Aero Dynamic Side Skirts have been ordered and are starting to arrive. Green Wings are California Air Resources Board (CARB) and SmartWay certified. The wings are specifically designed to reduce drag and increase fuel mileage up to 6%.  

Here's your first look at the green wings!
  


Can you spot another change in these trailers?
 

The Waller logo is on the lower half of the trailer. These decals, created at Waller Headquarters by Danny Zeller, Rachael Waller, Valerie Foster and Sherry Manheim, were hand delivered by Danny and Randy Zeller to Wisconsin for application.

Check out these pictures of the new trailers in production.
