The present disclosure pertains to fairings for use on a trailer having a movable bogie. In one implementation, panels of the fairing extend at least to a rear termination point of the movable bogie and include a slim hinge to prevent interference with a pair of wheels coupled to the bogie. Accordingly, implementations of the present disclosure include a fairing that allows for translation of the movable bogie, while also providing panel coverage up to and beyond a pair of wheels coupled to the bogie regardless of the bogie position relative to the trailer.
