Required Office Activity

As the field activity information is entered on the handheld device, the same information is displayed on a terminal located in the site office. The information is reviewed in the office for accuracy. After the management personnel views the information and makes any necessary corrections or notes, the cars are entered into the system (entered equates to available for use).

Cars entered into the system are assigned to outstanding order(s) as required. The process includes the printing of the Switch List. The program also generates a completed BOL that is automatically faxed, e-mailed, or uploaded to the railroad via FTP, depending on management needs. A switch list is printed. The software automatically generates the required data needed to create the BOL. Since the volume of asphalt is predicated on temperature per established API charts, the BOL has to be consistent with the volume per the API table. This data is automatically created by the RailLoaderPro system. At the discretion of the user, the BOL that generated can be faxed, e-mailed, or uploaded to the railroad via FTP per Kleinschmidt or the like. Once the order is completed, the order is closed and written to history.
