The tractor, which includes a towing engine, is typically not as tall as the trailer, which carries the freight. Semi-trailer trucks, also called "tractor-trailers," are cormnon in the heavy truck industry. Many types of vehicles use wind deflectors beneficially, but an effective wind deflector is especially advantageous in the heavy truck industry. An effective wind deflector will reduce wind resistance while the vehicle is in motion, and consequently increases stability and fuel efficiency. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION A wind deflector is a device that changes the airflow around a vehicle. In particular, this invention relates to a wind deflector for a semi-trailer truck cab. MODULAR WIND DEFLECTOR FOR A TRUCK FIELD OF THE INVENTION This invention relates to truck accessories.
