If your object-in-motion were the lead object, that might be different, but since it's a trailer, it's going to have to follow the profile of the object leading it, which means that there will be a fairly large compression of fluid (air) above the vehicle/trailer as an assembly.
This is not to say that you shouldn't work the sides, but the top is still a desirable park in which to play, metaphorically speaking.
EDIT - If I really only had the choice to work on one objective, instead of top or sides, I'd simply choose "rear". That'll cover it!

Coffee break.
This is interesting. I'd like to hear more about who says one top and two sides are roughly equal. More importantly, why. Context. What applications are they talking about when they paint with that brush.
In this case, remember that the leading edge of trailer is 9-10 feet behind the cab of the truck, and it sits 1.5+ feet taller as well; 3.5+ above the tonneau cover.
As for tail, already covered. Profile includes front and back. Look again at my early posts for details, including animation. It's already tapered.
