Abstract:
1. A process comprising: receiving a transportation request for the shipment of a low microbial (LM) bulk flour; determining a vehicle transport period based on the transportation request, wherein the vehicle transport period begins on a load-out date and expires on a receipt date; identifying an available vehicle for the transportation period; obtaining a low microbial wash (LMW) timing threshold that is based on a predetermined microbial baseline for the LM bulk flour, wherein the LMW timing threshold is a maximum recommended amount of time between LM washes; comparing the LMW timing threshold to a LMW record for the available vehicle to determine whether the LMW record for the available vehicle is within the LMW timing threshold for the transport period; when the LMW record for the available vehicle is within the LMW timing threshold for the transport period, qualifying the available vehicle for the shipment of the LM bulk flour; and when the LMW record for the available vehicle is not within the LMW timing threshold for the transport period, causing a LMW process to be performed, wherein the LMW process includes: cause dispersion of the sanitary solution within the interior of the vehicle, and qualifying the vehicle for the shipment of the LM bulk flour.
