Methods and systems are described for active shipment management within a wireless network enabled vehicle that may use an ID node associated with a package, a container node associated with a logistics container, a vehicle node on the vehicle, and a managing node external to the vehicle. In general, the vehicle node broadcasts a management request to the container node related to the package. The container node identifies the ID node associated with the package based upon shipping information included in the management request. The container node verifies the package is on the vehicle via the ID node's location as determined by the container node. The container node transmits a verification message to the vehicle node to indicate whether the package is verified to be on the vehicle. The vehicle node then transmits a shipment update message to the managing node indicating updated shipping information related to the package.
