System and method for on-vehicle bonded beacon sensors

A wireless sensor system for a truck and trailer, comprising:

• a telemetry device;
• a first plurality of wireless sensors and a first gateway each located on the truck, wherein the first plurality of wireless sensors are each configured to monitor a corresponding first physical parameter and to transmit a first sensor data regarding the corresponding first physical parameter, wherein the first gateway is configured to receive the first sensor data from the first plurality of wireless sensors and to relay the first sensor data to the telemetry device for transmission to a remote computer away from the truck and trailer;
• and
• a second plurality of wireless sensors and a second gateway electronic module each located on the trailer, wherein the second plurality of wireless sensors are each configured to monitor a corresponding second physical parameter and to transmit a second sensor data regarding the corresponding second physical parameter, wherein the second gateway is configured to receive second sensor data from the second plurality of wireless sensors and to relay the second sensor data to the first gateway, and
• wherein the first gateway is further configured to receive the second sensor data from the second gateway and to relay the second sensor data to the telemetry device for transmission to the remote computer.
