Abstract: A method, computer program product, and computing system for initiating a shipping inquiry for a specific piece of heavy equipment having a defined manufacturer/model. A logistics database is accessed to obtain at least one logistics criterion for the specific piece of heavy equipment, wherein the at least one logistics criterion defines one or more logistical characteristics for the specific piece of heavy equipment. The at least one logistics criterion is identified to the user.

Abstract: A method, computer program product, and computing system for initiating a shipping inquiry for a piece of heavy equipment. A manufacturer/model is defined for the piece of heavy equipment. A starting location and destination location are identified for the piece of heavy equipment. An equipment database is accessed to obtain a plurality of equipment characteristics for the piece of heavy equipment, wherein at least one of the equipment characteristics is assigned a weight, based at least in part, upon a level of shipping complexity associated with the equipment characteristic. A logistics database is accessed to obtain at least one logistics criterion for the piece of heavy equipment, wherein the at least one logistics criterion defines one or more logistical characteristics for the piece of heavy equipment.

Abstract: A method, computer program product, and computing system for defining a shipping inquiry for moving a specific piece of heavy equipment from a starting location to a destination location. One of a plurality of shipping inquiry submission options is selected, wherein the plurality of shipping inquiry submission options includes: at least one direct submission option that submits the shipping inquiry to a single preferred service provider, requesting that the single preferred service provider fulfill the shipping inquiry; and at least one bid submission option that submits the shipping inquiry to a predefined group of service providers, requesting that the members of the predefined group of service providers submit competitive bids for fulfilling the shipping inquiry.

Abstract: A method, computer program product, and computing system for initiating a shipping inquiry for a piece of heavy equipment. A manufacturer/model is defined for the piece of heavy equipment. A starting location is identified for the piece of heavy equipment. A destination location is identified for the piece of heavy equipment. The shipping estimate is calculated for the piece of heavy equipment based, at least in part, upon the manufacturer/model of the piece of heavy equipment, the starting location of the piece of heavy equipment, and the destination location of the piece of heavy equipment.
