Abstract: A method for managing carrier status via the Short Message Service (SMS) by a centralized system in a multi-carrier environment includes: associating a driver with a first load to be transported, using an SMS-enabled cellphone number of the driver; storing the association of driver and load in a database of the system, along with a unique identifier of the carrier; transmitting, by the server to the driver, an instruction as a text message to the driver's cell phone with instructions for replying upon arrival; receiving, by the server from the driver, a response consistent with the instructions for replying upon arrival; updating, by the server, a status associated with the driver's response in the database; repeating the steps for a second driver of a second carrier; and providing, by the centralized system, status reports related to both the driver and associated load, and the second driver and associated load.

Abstract: The invention is a wire frame which is bent in an "S" like formation to form a soap holder for two bars of soap. The top of the "S" frame being slightly concave to allow a bar of soap to set on the top. Two suction cups are attached to the frame to allow the soap holder to be attached to a wall or sink. The frame is make out of a pliable wire so that the end user can modify the frame to fit his sink. The soap dish holder is prepared by a method of wrapping a pliable wire around post on the jig and spot welding the wire at the point at which the wire comes in contact with itself and than dipping the wire in a plastic coating and shaping the wires so it can hold the two bars of soap. Lastly suction cups are added to the wore frame so that it can be attached to a wall or sink.
