System and method for trailer venting

A computer-implemented method for changing a position of a vent provided in a trailer, wherein the trailer is configured to be selectively coupled to a vehicle and moved with the vehicle, and wherein the trailer comprises a front wall, a rear wall, and first and second sidewalls that each extend between the front wall and the rear wall, the front and rear walls and sidewalls define a cargo chamber, and the vent, movable between an open vent position, a closed vent position or a vent position between the open and the closed positions, provided in one of the front wall, rear wall or sidewalls;

• and a processing device in communication with the vehicle and the vent, the method comprising:
• determining a type of cargo in the cargo chamber;
• and
• executing instructions stored in a memory with the processing device to perform vent positioning operations comprising:
• accessing a current position of the vent, and
• based on data comprising at least the type of cargo in the cargo chamber, selectively positioning the vent to any of the vent open position, the vent closed position or the vent position between the open and closed vent positions while the vehicle is in motion.
