Abstract
A method is provided for tracking and/or locating a delivery item transport equipment label. A delivery-item transport equipment label is scanned. At least one of a first identifier that is attached to a bracket or an RFID chip that is attached to the bracket is scanned to associate the delivery-item transport equipment label with the RFID chip. The RFID chip is scanned during use of a delivery-item transport equipment to which the bracket is attached. A location of the delivery-item transport equipment label is identified based on the scanning of the RFID chip.
