Except then you have the same problems as with drafting: you've got to keep 100% alert, or you're under the truck :-)
Imagine instead a telescoping/articulated arm with an electromagnet on the end. Come up behind a truck at cruising speed, extend the arm, flick the switch, and suddenly your fuel consumption drops to just what's needed to power the magnet.
If you wanted to get slick, you could even build in a shock absorber for a more comfortable ride.
