If this company is facing a $100,000 order, I'd make them work for it. Ask for a heat map (good locations in red, poor locations in blue) for your specific vehicle configuration.

As I understand it, by using the VG's on the rear of a trailer you create an extended air curtain off the back of the truck...this forms a "virtual" boat tail...
Looking at some of the heat maps on youtube, you can see this results in a tear drop shape off the back of the trailer, as opposed to the huge drag inducing turbulence off the back of a standard trailer.
