What I was wondering in specific though was like the Airflow Bullettruck has ALOT of work put into streamlining the front of it. A long sloped nose extension primarily. What i'm wondering is whether one could dispense entirely with that, use a flat nose semi, and just boattail the heck out of the rear of the trailer, and insure a good cab-to-trailer seal, to get better mileage.

IMHO that long Bullet Truck nose is more of a hindrance than an asset. I think the aero could be just as low drag with a far blunter nose, and that long beak creates ground clearance and maneuverability issues.
