An exemplary system for covering an open bed of a trailer generally includes an armature movable between an open position and a closed position, a cover connected with the armature such that the bed is exposed when the armature is in the open position and is covered by the cover when the armature is in the closed position, an actuator operably connected with the armature, control circuitry operable to control the actuator to move the armature between the open position and the closed position. The control circuitry includes a wireless communication device, is configured to control the actuator to move the armature toward the open position in response to receiving an open command via the wireless communication device, and is configured to control the actuator to move the armature toward the closed position in response to receiving a close command via the wireless communication device.
