1. A computer-implemented method comprising: detecting, at an electronic onboard recorder that is mounted to a vehicle, one or more types of communications protocols employed by an engine control module of the vehicle and automatically adapting to the one or more types of communications protocols employed by the engine control module of the vehicle;receiving, by the electronic onboard recorder from the engine control module via a cable communicatively coupling the electronic onboard recorder and the engine control module, vehicle usage information;wirelessly communicating, by a short-range wireless communication device of the electronic onboard recorder to a mobile device, the vehicle usage information when the mobile device is positioned inside the vehicle or when the mobile device is positioned proximate to the vehicle;wirelessly receiving, by the short-range wireless communication device from the mobile device, and storing in a memory of the electronic onboard recorder, a copy of hours of service information for a driver of the vehicle which was generated by the mobile device based on at least some of the vehicle usage information wirelessly communicated to the mobile device;communicatively coupling with a removably portable storage device via a universal serial bus (USB) port of the electronic onboard recorder;receiving, by the short-range wireless communication device, from the mobile device, a wireless communication indicative of a user request input to the mobile device to transfer the copy of the hours of service information; andtransferring, by the electronic onboard recorder to the portable storage device via the USB port, the copy of the hours of service information for the driver of the vehicle in response to receiving the wireless communication. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the short-range wireless communication device of the electronic onboard recorder comprises a Bluetooth wireless communication device for communicating with the mobile device when the mobile device is positioned inside the vehicle or when the mobile device is positioned proximate to the vehicle. 3. The method of claim 1, further comprising storing, by the electronic onboard recorder, the vehicle usage information in the memory of the electronic onboard recorder, wherein at least a portion of the vehicle usage information being indicative of travel distance and time. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein receiving vehicle usage information at the electronic onboard recorder from the engine control module comprises simultaneously receiving vehicle usage information via multiple protocols of the engine control module. 5. The method of claim 1, further comprising: detecting, by one or more accelerometers of the electronic onboard recorder, movements of the vehicle; andtransmitting, by the short-range wireless communication device to the mobile device, the movements of the vehicle. 6. The method of claim 1, further comprising: receiving, by a GPS receiver of the electronic onboard recorder, one or more location signals from at least one GPS satellite; andtransmitting, by the short-range wireless communication device to the mobile device, the one or more location signals. 7. The method of claim 1, further comprising: determining, at the electronic onboard recorder unit, a location of the vehicle; andwirelessly communicating, via the short-range wireless communication device to the mobile device, the location of the vehicle for displaying the location on the mobile device. 8. The method of claim 1, wherein the electronic onboard recorder is displayless and having a maximum length of 8 inches, a maximum width of 6.5 inches, and a maximum height of 1.5 inches. 9. The method of claim 1, wherein the communicatively coupling with the removably portable storage device via the USB port of the electronic onboard recorder comprises communicatively coupling with a USB cable coupled with a portable computer. 10. The method of claim 1, wherein the communicatively coupling with the removably portable storage device via the USB port of the electronic onboard recorder comprises communicatively coupling with a USB thumb drive or a USB-equipped portable hard drive. 11. The method of claim 1, further comprising communicatively coupling the cable with a connector of the electronic onboard recorder. 12. The method of claim 1, wherein the copy of the hours of service information includes identification information for the driver and hours of service information for the driver. 13. The method of claim 1, wherein the copy of the hours of service information includes at least off duty status, on duty status and driving status for the driver.
