Abstract: A communication system, including: a trailer module disposed on a cargo trailer, the trailer module including a trailer identification number for the cargo trailer; a tractor module disposed on a cargo tractor, the tractor module to electrically couple to the trailer module; and a communications bus to couple the trailer module to the tractor module when the trailer is coupled to the tractor, wherein, when coupled to the tractor module, the trailer module communicates the trailer identification to the tractor module.

Abstract: In one example in accordance with the present disclosure, a fuel measurement device is described. The fuel measurement device includes a collar to clamp against a neck of a fuel tank. A fuel port is coupled to the collar. The fuel port includes 1) a passage through which fuel is passed into the fuel tank and 2) a fuel level sensor that includes an elongated probe inserted into the fuel tank.

Abstract: In one example in accordance with the present disclosure, a method for identifying an available cargo vehicle is described. According to the method, a time when a cargo tractor is scheduled to be available is determined as well as a location where the cargo tractor is scheduled to be available. Characteristics of a cargo trailer coupled to the cargo tractor are determined and an available number of hours left to drive for a driver associated with the cargo tractor are also determined. Time information, location information, cargo trailer characteristic information, and driver availability information for multiple cargo vehicles is aggregated in a database.

Abstract: A network and associated methods and apparatus are described. The network includes a wireless access node which is operable to receive first packets from a plurality of wireless computing devices attempting to access the network. Each of the first packets corresponds to one of a plurality of traffic types. At least one of the traffic types corresponds to an encrypted wireless protocol. The wireless access node is configured to associate one of a plurality of identifiers with each of the first packets. Each of the plurality of identifiers corresponds to one of the plurality of traffic types. The wireless access node is further configured to transmit all first packets received from the wireless computing devices to a gateway on the network regardless of destination addresses associated with the first packets. The gateway is operable to determine that a particular one of the first packets from a first one of the wireless computing devices is directed to a second computing device on the network.
