Onfreight Logistics Equips Fleet with Aerofficient Fairings
Lincolnshire, Ill. – November 17, 2011– Aerofficient, leading designers and manufacturers of aerodynamic enhancement devices for heavy-duty truck trailers, today announced at the 85th Annual Ontario Trucking Association Convention that Ontario-based Onfreight Logistics will be outfitting its entire fleet of road trailers with Aerofficient side fairings
Based in Tecumseh, ON near the busiest of US-Canadian border crossings, Onfreight utilizes a modern fleet of tractors and trailers equipped with the latest technology. The company also boasts warehouse and packaging operations in London and Mississuaga.
“We have followed a progressive growth plan that has always included the use of technology to help us not only maintain our high level of service but to also help maintain our overall costs,” said Steve Ondejko, president of Onfreight. “We take our purchasing decisions very seriously. Once we made the decision that trailer fairings truly met the efficiencies and fuel savings the manufacturers were touting, we carefully researched the qualities and capabilities of the various offerings in the market to determine the best product. After identifying the Aerofficient product as the leader both in terms of aerodynamic performance and durability, we purchased one and rigorously tested it. Its performance exceeded our expectations.”
According to Ondejko, Aerofficient was selected based on its simplicity, quality of engineering, durable, lightweight materials, and superior aerodynamic performance. “Aerofficient’s fairings are a quality product that was obviously designed by people who understand the rigors of trucking.”
“We have spent years researching quality materials and designing a product that meets our goal of performing as designed for a minimum of ten years of high mileage trucking,” said Jim Reiman, CEO of Aerofficient. “When sophisticated and highly experienced companies like Onfreight put us to the test and we win, then we know we’ve achieved our goal. We are honored to add them to our rapidly growing list of customers.”
Aerofficient’s fairings are produced from an injection molded automotive-grade thermoplastic polyolefin material known for its high performance properties and its ability to withstand thermal expansion and contraction caused by extremes of heat and cold. In addition, the hinged, three-panel design of Aerofficient’s fairings provides the strength and flexibility necessary for survival in the real world of trucking, such as drop-down docks, snow banks and road and yard hazards.
