Here is something I thought of on the way to work this morning ...
You are trying to solve an issue when these rigs are running without a trailer.
Well nearly 100% of them have the roof fairing that pushes air over and around the trailer portion. What if that was designed in a way that when empty it could be flipped back, reducing the frontal area and in its flipped back position act as a partial boat tail. This way we add negligible weight and have no storage issues.
As part of this invention the now exposed roof can have a shape to help steer the air into the boat tail. When not in use it become the functional fairing it was before.
