A vehicle for preventing trailer cargo loss in a trailer of the vehicle, the vehicle comprising:

• a communication interface configured to communicate the trailer;
• a processor;
• and
• a memory storing an instruction that, when executed by the processor, is configured to cause the vehicle to:
• perform wired and wireless communication with a server and a trailer controller of the trailer;
• communicatively couple to the trailer controller;
• obtain, via the coupling, trailer information of the trailer from the trailer controller;
• transmit, to the server, vehicle information of the vehicle and the trailer information;
• receive, from the server and based on the transmitted vehicle information and the transmitted trailer information, a pair of selected software components for cargo monitoring, wherein the pair of selected software components comprise vehicle software and trailer software;
• transmit the trailer software to the trailer;
• and
• perform loss prevention monitoring for a cargo in the trailer by operating the vehicle software, while the vehicle software interworks with the transmitted trailer software.
