In a freight shipment system and method, the lift trucks used by the freight carrier for handling and loading freight shipments are equipped with a weighing device capable of weighing each piece of freight handled by the lift truck. The lift truck operator also has a scanner for scanning coded identification information associated with each piece of freight. As each piece of freight is handled by the lift truck, the coded identification information for that piece of freight is captured along with the weight of the load. This information is transmitted to a computer system where it can be used for real-time invoicing. The system can also obtain dimensional information about the volume of the piece of freight.

Dans le système et le procédé d~expédition de fret selon l'invention, les chariots élévateurs utilisés par le transporteur de fret pour manAEuvrer et charger des expéditions de fret sont équipés d~un dispositif de pesage susceptible de peser chaque pièce de fret manAEuvrée par le chariot élévateur. L'opérateur du chariot élévateur a également un scanner pour scanner des informations d'identification codées associées à chaque pièce de fret. Alors que chaque pièce de fret est manAEuvrée par le chariot élévateur, les informations d'identification codées pour cette pièce de fret sont captées en même temps que le poids de la charge. Ces informations sont transmises à un système informatique où elles peuvent être utilisées pour une facturation en temps réel. Le système peut également obtenir des informations dimensionnelles concernant le volume de la pièce de fret.
