Abstract
An anti theft locking system for the cargo carrying portion of a truck, trailer, shipping container, and/or railcar having at least one access door. The anti theft locking mechanism and associated signal processing means for locking the access door are all located entirely within the cargo carrying portion and cannot be accessed from outside. The locking mechanism can be locked in response to a coded locking signal generated from the exterior of the cargo carrying portion. The locking mechanism can be unlocked in response to a coded unlocking signal generated from a remote location.

- one of said left and right access doors having upper and lower manual locking means located within said cargo carrying portion;
- the other of said left and right access doors having upper and lower signal actuated locking means in electrical communication with signal transceiving and processing means;
- said upper and lower signal actuated locking means and associated signal transceiving and processing means being located entirely within said cargo carrying portion when said left and right access doors are in their closed position and no part thereof can be manually accessed from outside said cargo carrying portion;
- said signal actuated locking mechanism adapted to lock said access door in response to a coded locking signal generated from the exterior of said cargo carrying portion and received and processed by said signal transceiving and processing means;
