Freight vehicle matching and operation

A non-transitory computer-readable medium that stores instructions, which when executed by one or more processors of a computer system, cause the computer system to perform operations that include:

• receiving a freight load request, the freight load request identifying a freight load and a loading location;
• monitoring location information communicated from multiple operator devices, each operator device being associated with a respective freight vehicle and a freight operator of a candidate set of freight operators;
• for each freight operator of the candidate set, determining an amount of additive travel that the freight operator would likely incur in traveling to the loading location based at least in part on the monitored location information communicated from the operator device associated with that freight operator;
• implementing a process to match the freight load with one of the freight operators of the candidate set;
• determining a shipment value for transporting the freight load by at least the matched freight operator;
• and
• directing the matched freight operator to the loading location using the respective operator device.

A method for matching freight loading requests to freight vehicles, the method being implemented by one or more processors and comprising:

• receiving a freight load request, the freight load request identifying a freight load and a loading location;
• monitoring location information communicated from multiple operator devices, each operator device being associated with a respective freight vehicle and a freight operator of a candidate set of freight operators;
• for each freight operator of the candidate set, determining an amount of additive travel that the freight operator would likely incur in traveling to the loading location based at least in part on the monitored location information communicated from the operator device associated with that freight operator;
• implementing a process to match the freight load with one of the freight operators of the candidate set;
• determining a shipment value for transporting the freight load by at least the matched freight operator;
• and
• directing the matched freight operator to the loading location using the respective operator device.
