1. A processor-implemented system for processing fuel orders, comprising:
- a plurality of data interfaces;
wherein a first data interface is operable to receive fuel order data from order senders;
wherein the fuel order data is in a first data format;
a database operating on a server for storing the fuel order data;
semantic fuel order business rules accessible through a server for constructing groups of orders that comprise shifts so that drivers can fulfill orders specified in the stored fuel order data;
wherein a second data interface is operable to send fuel order data generated from the server database to a fuel vehicle operator'"'"'s communication device;
wherein the fuel order data sent to the fuel vehicle operator'"'"'s communication device is in a second data format which is a different data format than the first data format;
fuel order processing rules configured to be operable upon a server to determine whether a discrepancy exists with respect to data received from the communication device and generated as a result of a fuel vehicle operator handling an order specified in the fuel order data or as a result of a fuel vehicle operator inputting information as specified in the fuel order data.

Abstract
Systems and methods for handling fuel orders. A system and method can include using a plurality of data interfaces, wherein a first data interface is operable to receive fuel order data from order senders. A database operating on a server is used for storing the fuel order data. Semantic fuel order business rules accessible through a server arc used for constructing groups of orders that comprise shifts so that drivers can fulfill orders specified in the stored fuel order data. A second data interface is operable to send fuel order data generated from the server database to a fuel vehicle operator'"'"'s communication device.

64. A processor-implemented method for fuel order processing, comprising:
-
receiving a plurality of customer orders; wherein customer orders are in different data formats; converting each customer order into a generic data format; sending customer orders to one or more delivery trucks in a data format for handling by a communication device located with a fuel delivery vehicle; wherein the sent customer order information is for display to a fuel truck driver; wherein the generic format is a format that is different than the format in which customer orders are received and different than the format in which data is sent to and received from the communication device; using fuel order processing rules to determine whether a discrepancy exists with respect to data received from the communication device and generated as a result of a fuel vehicle operator handling an order specified in the fuel order data. - View Dependent Claims (65, 66, 67)

68. A signal embodied on a carrier wave containing a customer order for receipt by a communication device, wherein the customer order is generated according to a method comprising:
-
receiving a plurality of customer orders; wherein customer orders are in different data formats; converting each customer order into a generic data format; sending customer orders to one or more delivery trucks in a data format for handling by a communication device located with a fuel delivery vehicle; wherein the sent customer order information is for display to a fuel truck driver; wherein the generic format is a format that is different than the format in which customer orders are received and different than the format in which data is sent to and received from the communication device; using fuel order processing rules to determine whether a discrepancy exists with respect to data received from the communication device and generated as a result of a fuel vehicle operator handling an order specified in the fuel order data.
