Yeah, lightweight fiberglass foils at the leading edges, flow fences, wheel pants, etc. could be done for peanuts. Removable and recyclable, they could be made for easy on-off application to any intermodal shipping box, for cheap. A few days at the aircraft boneyard in Tuscon could get you a decent set of fiberglass molds for the cab fairing.
