We may well be seeing these semi trailers being manufactured with the boat tail built into the rear. Perhaps a hydraulic boat tail that can expand and contract as needed to accommodate the loading dock and various loads.
A fleet of boat tailed trailers would provide a distinct advantage to the Company using them. 7% of a semi's yearly fuel bill is large.
