A system and method for operation of an autonomous vehicle (AV) yard truck is provided. A processor facilitates autonomous movement of the AV yard truck, and connection to and disconnection from trailers. A plurality of sensors are interconnected with the processor that sense terrain/objects and assist in automatically connecting/disconnecting trailers. A server, interconnected, wirelessly with the processor, that tracks movement of the truck around and determines locations for trailer connection and disconnection. A door station unlatches/opens rear doors of the trailer when adjacent thereto, securing them in an opened position via clamps, etc. The system computes a height of the trailer, and/or if landing gear of the trailer is on the ground and interoperates with the fifth wheel to change height, and whether docking is safe, allowing a user to take manual control, and optimum charge time(s). Reversing sensors/safety, automated chocking, and intermodal container organization are also provided.

A reinforcement panel for the floor of a pick-up truck bed. The reinforcement panel is assembled between the floor of the pick-up truck and a fifth wheel cross member. The reinforcement panel includes transversely extending reinforcing or stiffening ribs. The stiffening ribs resist deflection in the area of the gooseneck ball receptacle.

The invention discloses a solar pickup truck bed cover with a lock bolt structure, wherein include a supporting system, a lock bolt clamp system, a lock bolt system, a solar panel, a power storage system and a fixing clamp assembly; the lock bolt clamp system is connected to the edge of the cargo hopper, the solar panel is connected with the supporting system; the power storage system includes a power storage box, the power storage box is connected to the supporting system through an anti-moving clamp system, the supporting system is connected to the lock bolt clamp system through a lock bolt system. The invention can convert light energy into electric energy and store it in the power storage box during driving by setting the solar panel, providing mobile power for the users in real time during outdoor activities. In addition, it can also provide emergency power when the new energy automobile is exhausted, allowing the car to travel about 30 kilometers in an emergency.

A safety rail for a flatbed trailer including a track that is engaged adjacent an edge of the flatbed trailer and a plurality of post holder assemblies engaged with the track. The post holder assemblies are selectively movable along the track between an operational position and a storage position. When the safety rail is in the operational position, the post holder assemblies are spaced a distance apart from each other and, when in the storage position, the post holder assemblies are in tongue-and-groove interlocking engagement with each other. A post is engaged with each of the post holder assemblies and a cable is threaded through an aperture in each of the posts. The post holder assemblies include one or more wheels which engage the track and roll therealong as the safety rail is moved between the operational and storage positions.
