Actually, I've looked at the skirts are trucks are fairly flat--but so are the body panels of the trailers. Plus, the tires are fully under the trailer. Unfortunately, on my truck the body panels slope inward and they go towards the ground, leaving the bottom side of the tires sticking out. So far I haven't come up with a good, clean way of flaring the skirt out.

You could look for some old school full length Aluminium running boards.
Put them on the truck, then attach the skirts to them. It would make it easier to get in and out of the truck and also keep the truck cleaner. If you couldn't find them, you could have them fabricated to meet your specs.
(
height, length, width and flair)
Or.
Before going through all that trouble. You could find a home siding contractor that has a 10' brake and have them brake some of the aluminum coil that they use for corner and fascia trim into the shape needed. It even comes in white.
Then if you wanted to, you could reinforce the back side by gluing or pop riveting or bolting coroplast or some other material. Add a few diagonal struts, fill the ends in with some mud flap material and done.
The last option could be had as cheap as a $20 bill and a 12 pack of suds at quitting time.
Anyways, just a few ideas.
