Bill of lading transmission and processing system for less than a load carriers
First Claim
1. A remote processing system capable of dynamically calculating an advance loading manifest, comprising:
- a processor;
a memory; and
a set of executable instructions residing on the processor capable of dynamically receiving one or more documents from a transportation vehicle, processing and routing the one or more transportation documents, storing the one or more transportation documents in the memory, extracting packing data from the one or more transportation documents, and utilizing the extracted packing data to dynamically calculate the advance loading manifest and transmit the advance loading manifest to a remote facility in advance of the arrival of a transportation vehicle at the remote facility.

Abstract
The present invention automates the process of receiving transportation documentation and producing advance loading manifests therefrom to optimize load planning and dynamic product shipment and delivery control. Methods provide for receipt of the transportation documentation, initial preparation, and transmission of the documentation from on board a vehicle or while the vehicle is in transit. A remote processor receives the documentation, stores the documentation and feeds the documentation to a load planning software for generation of advance loading manifests from the remote processor and receive them on demand. Further, a mobile data transmission device is provided for use by a driver to communicate transportation documentation, and vehicle information to the remote processor, and, in some applications, can receive instructions for en route alterations of package pickup or delivery. The documentation can reside on a server remotely accessible by customers.
