Abstract

The present disclosure is directed generally to trailer validation systems and, more particularly, to systems capable of verifying that a trailer is associated with the proper loading dock station. In some embodiments, a trailer validation system includes a display, a processor operably connected to the display, a communication device operably coupled to the processor, and a non-transitory computer-readable medium containing instructions for operating the trailer validation system. The display screen can be positioned on a trailer or at a loading dock. The communication device can receive information related to an identity of the trailer. The instructions can be executed by the processor to cause the display to display at least a portion of the information. When the display is positioned at the loading dock, the displayed information can be readable by a device mounted to the trailer to enable the trailer to identify the loading dock station.
