Classification: CPC G  B | IPC B  G

Claim 3:
4. The method of claim 1:
further comprising:
during the first time period, detecting a first charge state of a battery pack coupled to the trailer; and
during the second time period, detecting a second charge state, greater than the first charge state, of the battery pack;

wherein calculating the first target preload force comprises calculating the first target preload force proportional to the first tractor-trailer angle and inversely proportional to the first charge state;
wherein calculating the second tractor-trailer angle comprises calculating the second tractor-trailer angle less than the first tractor-trailer angle;
wherein detecting the second direction of motion of the trailer comprises detecting the second direction of motion of the trailer in the forward direction; and
wherein calculating the second target preload force comprises calculating the second target preload force, approximating the first target preload force, proportional to the second tractor-trailer angle and inversely proportional to the second charge state.
