Abstract: A method including training a machine-learning model based on pairs of historical backhauls and historical releases to recommend current releases or future releases. The method also can include determining, using the machine-learning model, recommended backhaul loads to be assigned to current releases from among available backhaul loads. The method additionally can include automatically generating matches for outbound routes with the recommended backhaul loads. Other embodiments are described.

Abstract: A system including one or more processors and one or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing computing instructions that, when executed on the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations: generating a preliminary dock-out time boundary based on one or more delivery time windows for one or more deliveries; processing two parallel data flow paths to locate a range of dock-out times associated with one or more time constraints of the one or more delivery time windows; and transmitting the range of dock-out times to a user, wherein a trailer is dispatched to a distribution center between the range of dock-out times to load the trailer and deliver the one or more deliveries within the time constraints of the one or more delivery time windows based on a flexible period of time. Other embodiments are described.

Abstract: A system including one or more processors and one or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing computing instructions configured to run on the one or more processors and perform: generating a feasible dock-out plan designed to deliver one or more orders to one or more physical stores based on a feasible route plan by: generating a preliminary dock-out time boundary based on one or more delivery time windows; determining an earliest dock-out time based at least in part on the preliminary dock-out time boundary and a backward search; and determining a latest dock-out time based at least in part on the preliminary dock-out time boundary and a forward search; and transmitting a range of dock-out times comprising (i) the earliest dock-out time and (ii) the latest dock-out time to a user. Other embodiments are described.
