Abstract
A load matching system matches freight loads to trucking carriers based on multiple factors including carrier geo-location, load origin, load destination, carrier equipment type, information about the user, pick-up-time, drop-off-time, price elasticity, and transactional history. The system uses machine learning algorithms to provide the carrier with synthesized load information, based on past experience, current conditions and user interaction with previous load postings.
Claims20
A freight load matching system comprising:
- a load posting search engine, and
- a load recommender system,
- wherein said load posting search engine is configured to receive load data for individual freight loads to be carried, and
- wherein said load recommender system is configured to assign load match scores for individual carriers to said individual freight loads, said scores being determined based on said load data and on carrier historical data.
A method of recommending freight loads to shipping carriers comprising:
- receiving load data for a freight load, and
- analyzing said load data against individual carrier data to produce a load match score for an individual carrier.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions executable by one or more processors, the instructions comprising:
- receiving load data for a freight load, and
- analyzing said load data against individual carrier data to produce a load match score for an individual carrier.
