1. A computer-implemented method for transport scheduling of low microbial (LM) bulk products, the computer-implemented method comprising:

  • receiving a LM bulk product shipment request, wherein the shipment request includes a load-out date value and a receipt date value;

    causing a processor to calculate a vehicle transport period based on the load-out date value and the receipt date value;

    accessing a transport schedule to determine at least one available vehicle for the calculated vehicle transport period;

    comparing a low microbial wash (LMW) timing threshold to a LMW record for the at least one available vehicle to determine whether the at least one available vehicle is within the LMW timing threshold for the transport period;

    when the at least one available vehicle is within the LMW timing threshold for the transport period, causing the processor to associate a qualification identifier with an identifier of the at least one available vehicle; and

    when the at least one available vehicle is not within the LMW timing threshold for the transport period, causing that at least one processor to associate a disqualification identifier with the identifier of the at least one available vehicle.
