The lamp is designed to project a light source that is close to natural sunlight and brighter to the human eye than traditional lamps to help reduce driver eye fatigue and provide a clear view in all driving conditions, increasing safety. The durable light has a hard-coated UV-protected high-impact-resistant lens and is engineered to resist cracking and yellowing. Grote Industries, www.grote.com, 800-628-0809 Commercial estimating system PPG's AdjustRite Commercial Estimating Program is designed for heavy-duty truck repairs and to allow users to make immediate compari- sons on the pricing and availability of parts to improve efficiency, accuracy and consistency by expediting claims and minimizing downtime. The system considers the overall repair process and produces detailed estimates based on a database of truck parts, repair information and logic. The database includes more than 100 heavy- and medium-duty truck makes and models and is monitored and updated continuously as parts costs and availability change. The program also can facilitate fast parts procurement and assist in resolving subrogation matters. PPG Commercial Coatings, www.ppgcommercialcoatings.com, 800-647-6050 Tractor-trailer gap aero device XStream Trucking's TruckWings is an active-aerodynamic device that covers the tractor-trailer gap and helps eliminate turbulence caused by movement and high winds, leading to streamlined aerodynamics, fuel savings, lower carbon emissions and smoother rides due to less lane drift. As the gap is needed for low-speed maneuverability, TruckWings is designed to work at highway speeds, automatically deploying large panels to cover the gap's sides and top. The panels, made of high-impact glass-reinforced composites, create a continuous connection between the truck and trailer that allows the air to flow smoothly over the truck's entire length. When the truck slows down, the panels retract without driver intervention, providing clearance for turns at any angle.

For one- time do-it-yourself installations, Phillips offers a spiral wrap with a 1⅜-inch inner diameter in pre-cut lengths of eight and 10 feet, and mini pre-cut spiral wraps also are available to provide an alternative to cable ties that can damage rubber air lines as they contract and expand during braking.
