That would work <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
Just get a couple of those small wings , one on the hood at the nose and one on the roof , kind of like a semi to make it more aerodynamic with the wing on top to cut down the wind pushing against the trailer front end.

You made it less aerodynamic.
Bigger front-dam profile.
Bigger "suction" area in the back end.
I'm not a pro with the graphics programs, but you need to have a gradual drop in the back, instead of the big flat end.
That's the same reason a pickup truck with a cover bets better mileage than one with an open bed, and an open bed gets better mileage than a pickup with the tailgate down.
The gradual step down is more aerodynamic than the big flat edge of the rear of a pickup cab.
(Waiting for the doubters)

My bad - All apologies, Wayneà But the imaginary Technicians said that my make-believe Wind Tunnel had an infestation of fantasy flamingo yard ornaments, so I pretty much had to fudge numbers and wing-it on a few of those lines. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />
