Abstract: A freight processing system includes a programmable processor, and a memory operatively coupled to the processor. The memory has stored thereon computer-executable instructions that when executed by the processor cause the processor to access a database holding freight data representing each of a plurality of freight units scheduled to be shipped to a receiving site in a single truck load, the database being operatively coupled to the processor, assess the freight data using a set of business rules, assign a priority to each of the freight units based at least in part on the assessment of the freight data, calculate a workload estimate representing an amount of time to be allocated for processing all of the freight units at the receiving site based at least in part on the set of business rules, and generate report data representing: the priority assigned to each respective freight unit, and the workload estimate.
