  • Publication number: 20220318722
    Abstract: A network computer system operates to monitor a location of multiple freight vehicle. For each freight vehicle of a candidate set, a determination is made as to the amount of additive travel that the freight vehicle would likely incur in traveling to a loading location of a new freight load, based at least in part on the monitored location information communicated from the operator device associated with that freight operator. The network computer system implements a matching process to match the freight load with one of the freight vehicles of the candidate set. The network computer system also determines a shipment value for transporting the freight load, based on the additive amount of travel which the freight vehicle is to perform. In some examples, the network computer system directs the matched freight operator to the loading location, using a device of the matched freight operator.

  • Publication number: 20220164770
    Abstract: A computer system receives a freight request from a shipper, where the freight request specifies a destination for a load of the shipper. The computer system implements a selection process to select a freight operator to haul a corresponding trailer of the trailer module from a location of the shipper to a destination. The trailer module may be monitored using information transmitted from the trailer, to determine when the trailer is picked up and/or delivered at the destination.
