Abstract: System and method for planning transportation shipments for delivery and pickup of goods. The system may plan shipments based on such factors as requested goods to be picked up and delivered, while minimizing the cost of the shipments planned. Constraints can be placed on the transportation resources and the goods to be moved that will restrict the possible shipments considered by the planning method. The method may be capable of considering all possible locations through which goods can be moved by shipments. The method may also be capable of quickly solving problems with a large number of potentially varying goods to be transported.
