Make the back of the cab half-a-ball shaped, & the matching socket curvature at the front of the trailer. Or I guess you could make it the other way as well

One little problem with that. The center of the ball & socket has to be the hitch ball where the trailer attaches to the tractor. Turning left and right is easy. Not so easy is allowing the tractor to tilt up relative to the trailer (think pulling into an uphill driveway).
