Abstract:
Systems, methods, and software can be used to improve efficiency of a cargo shipping system. In some aspect, a shipping request for a load is received. A plurality of cargo transportation unit (CTU) status notifications are received. Each of the plurality of CTU status notifications is generated by a cargo tracking device coupled with a respective CTU, and each of the plurality of CTU status notifications indicates a load status of the respective CTU. A CTU is selected to ship the load based on the plurality of CTU status notifications. A shipping order is sent. The shipping order identifies the selected CTU.

In some aspect, a cargo transportation unit (CTU) status notification is received from a cargo tracking device coupled with a CTU. The CTU status notification indicates a load status of the CTU. The CTU is determined to be ready for shipment based on the CTU status notification. Availability information associated with each of a plurality of drivers is received. A driver is selected for the CTU from the plurality of drivers based on the CTU status notification and the availability information. A delivery request is sent to the selected driver.

Abstract:
A system and method for providing verification of tracking and monitoring devices with cargo transportation units is provided. The track and monitoring device is mounted to the cargo transportation unit to provide location tracking and security functions. The association process is typical a manual process by a technician of identifying container visual identifiers to the installed tracking and monitoring unit. Errors in the association process can occur during installation and repairs. The association between tracking and monitoring devices and their respective cargo transportation unit is verified by receiving images from one tracking and monitoring device at a server and verifying the cargo transportation unit identifier is associated with another tracking and monitoring device.
Abstract:
A mobile wireless communications device is to communicate with a server storing a plurality of file folders, and includes a display, a wireless transceiver, and a processor all carried by a housing. The processor is configured to wirelessly download an initial portion of a selected file folder from the server, with the server still having a remainder portion of the selected file folder available for downloading. The processor also generates search results by performing a local search of the initial portion of the file folder, and performs a remote search of the reminder portion of the selected file folder. The processor further presents the search results on the display.
