tractor trailer gap - why not rounded front?

Just out of curiosity - Why trailers do not use rounded front? When the curvature is made with radius of the same length as the distance from peg to front corner, it should help aero performace. It doesn´t increase overall tractor trailer gap as peg to corner distance needs to be kept anyway for sharp turns. Am I wrong?? Not much trucks or truckers in place where I live...
