Keeping trucks full by algorithmically bundling shipments

Trucking companies often face and need to solve a complicated version of the “Vehicle Routing Problem” to effectively dispatch their fleet. There are many shipments available in the market and choosing the best sequence of loads to haul back-to-back is NOT trivial. Diversity of parameters (e.g. gas price, routes, empty miles) make decision making for transportation business owners arduous. At Convoy, we created a solution called <a href="https://convoy.com/blog/introducing-automated-reloads/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Automated Reloads</a> that algorithmically evaluates and optimizes how loads can be grouped in real-time, all without human intervention. This positively impacts the business of carriers by keeping their trucks full more often and <a href="https://convoy.com/blog/automated-reloads-reducing-empty-mile-carbon-emissions/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">reducing the carbon footprint</a> of burning gas for unnecessary empty trips. <a href="https://medium.com/convoy-tech/algorithmically-bundling-shipments-cb1ada68e0d8">Read More</a>
