The Bedford is not that impressive. I've seen slipperier Volvos out on the road.

The Renault is possible if the truck stays hooked to the same aero trailer. That is defeated by the fact that a trucker doesn't know what kind of trailer he will be pulling tomorrow. It also militates against the standard shipping container. Nice thought. Might work, but the real world wants no part of it.
