That's similar to what is used on articulated buses.
Seems some company tried this on 18 wheelers but had too many complaints about access for hitching. I guess if you're not paying for the fuel, a few extra min is a big headache
For a 1500 mile trip and you are paying for the fuel, 10-15 min is cheap.

Perhaps it could be screwed to the trailer and have snaps or thumb turns to hold it to the truck ?
