Method & system for performing a package pre-load operation in accordance with a dispatch plan

A method for performing a package pre-load operation in accordance with a dispatch plan, wherein each of a plurality of packages has a first shipping label including a destination address, said method comprising:

• receiving said destination address;
• based at least in part on a comparison of said destination address against said dispatch plan, generating a package handling instruction, wherein said package handling instruction identifies at least:
• (a) a certain load position from a plurality of load positions on a certain vehicle, wherein the certain load position is assigned to a first package and a second package;
• and
• (b) a sequencing scheme, wherein the sequencing scheme is configured to indicate the relative position within the certain load position of the first package and the second package.

A computer program product for performing a package pre-load operation in accordance with a dispatch plan, wherein each of a plurality of packages has a first shipping label including a destination address, the computer program product comprising at least one computer-readable storage medium having computer-readable program code portions stored therein, the computer-readable program code portions comprising:

• an executable portion configured to receive said destination address;
• an executable portion configured to, based at least in part on a comparison of said destination address against said dispatch plan, generate a package handling instruction, wherein said package handling instruction identifies at least:
• (a) a certain load position from a plurality of load positions on a certain vehicle, wherein the certain load position is assigned to a first package and a second package;
• and
• (b) a sequencing scheme, wherein the sequencing scheme is configured to indicate the relative position within the certain load position of the first package and the second package.
