1. A secure cargo transportation system comprising:
- a movable container including an enclosure having an opening;
a door movable relative to the opening between a closed position, wherein the door restricts access to the enclosure, and an open position;
a memory supported by the movable container and configured to store a location coordinate;
an electronic position-determining system, supported by the movable container and coupled to the memory and configured to electronically unlock the door in response to determining that the movable container is within a predetermined distance of the location coordinate; and
a wireless receiver supported by the movable container and coupled to the memory and configured to transfer to the memory a location coordinate received from a remote transmitter.
