1. A system, comprising:
an apparatus placed at a fixed position relative to a parking area, the apparatus comprising at least one processor circuit with a memory comprising a plurality of instructions, wherein when executed by at least one processor circuit, the instructions cause the at least one processor circuit to at least:
communicate with individual ones of a plurality of tire pressure monitoring (TPM) sensors of tires associated with at least one freight hauler in the parking area to retrieve sensor information;
generate sensor data records comprising the retrieved sensor information; and
communicate the sensor data records of the at least one freight hauler to a remote computing device; and
a first signal device configured to enable the TPM sensors to broadcast the sensor information; and
a second signal device configured to disable individual ones of the TPM sensors to cease broadcast of the sensor information.
