An inner skirt panel centrally located under the body of a semitrailer streamlines the vehicle, reducing drag thereon. The inner skirt panel further stabilizes the generally static air passing under the central axle and through the central open-space within tandem wheel assembly, further increasing the effective air pressure developed immediately behind the trailer to reduce drag thereon.
