1. A computerized method for integrating and facilitating single source access to user community messaging, transport vehicle location status and vehicle maintenance requirements and servicing procedures comprising the steps of:
- (a) providing a first database containing transport vehicle maintenance records and service requirements relating to one or more uniquely identifiable transport vehicles;
(b) providing one or more first host central processing units executing transport vehicle maintenance software, the host central processing unit and software in communication with the database of (a);
(c) providing one or more web-portal central processing units executing web-portal software in communication with an identifiable user community, the database of (a) and the one or more first host central processing units of (b);
(d) providing one or more transportable central processing units accommodated and positioned within a transport vehicle, the one or more transportable central processing units executing software in communication with the one or more first host central processing units and software of (b);
(e) providing one or more transportable central processing units accommodated and positioned geographically distant from the transport vehicle of (d), the one or more transportable central processing units executing user community software in communication with the web-portal central processing unit and web-portal software of (c);
(f) communicating a transport vehicle maintenance information request via the user community software of (e) from one or more users defined within the community of (c) to the web-portal software of (c) causing the web-portal software to access the databases of (a) and (b);
(g) interrogating the database of (a) in response to the user information request of (f); and
(h) formatting the interrogated information of the database of (a) responsive to the user input request of (f) and communicating the formatted information to one or more users defined within the community of (c).
