Abstract
A shipment system can coordinate a less-than-truckload shipment with one or more freight vehicles by receiving from a first computing device, data corresponding to a new less-than-truckload shipment request. The data can comprise a pickup location, a delivery location, a pickup time, and a delivery time. Additionally, the shipment system can identify, from accessing a database, one or more trucks that are assigned to a current less-than-truckload shipment and are capable of executing the new less-than truckload shipment while completing the respective current-less-than-truckload shipment. A message corresponding to an invitation for executing the new less-than-truckload shipment can be transmitted to one or more operator computing devices of the identified one or more trucks capable.
