1. A load to position system for providing dynamic real-time verification and validation of data associated with the receiving, loading, and positioning of a plurality of containers upon a transport vehicle, said system comprising:

  • one or more memory storage areas containing expected load data associated with the plurality of containers for which transit upon the transport vehicle is planned, the expected load data comprising a container identification number, an expected load weight, and an expected load position for each of the plurality of containers; and

    one or more computer processors configured to;

    receive actual load data associated with at least one of the plurality of containers, the actual load data comprising at least the container identification number and one or more of an actual load weight and an actual load position for the one of the plurality of containers;

    retrieve at least a portion of the expected load data associated with the one of the plurality of containers for which actual load data has been received, the retrieval being based at least in part upon identifying the corresponding container identification numbers in the received actual load data and the retrieved portion of the expected load data;

    verify the actual weight of the one of the plurality of packages, the verification being based at least in part upon a comparison of the retrieved expected load weight for the one of the plurality of packages against the actual load weight so as to determine whether a load weight discrepancy exists there-between;

    in response to a successful verification identifying no load weight discrepancies, validate the actual load position of the one of the plurality of packages, the validation being based at least in part upon a comparison of the retrieved expected load position for the one of the plurality of packages against the actual load data so as to determine whether a load position discrepancy exists there-between;

    in response to a successful validation identifying no load position discrepancies, generate at least one communication configured to facilitate at least one of further loading of the plurality of packages or departure of the transport vehicle; and

    in response to identifying at least one of the weight discrepancy or the load position discrepancy, generate at least one communication indicative of at least one of an unsuccessful verification or an unsuccessful validation and being configured to prevent at least one of further loading of the plurality of packages or departure of the transport vehicle.
