Route Optimization and Dispatch Proposals

Route Optimization and Dispatch Proposals covers the step between a planned order and a moving truck: deciding which stops go together, in what order, and which driver and vehicle should run them. In many operations this is done from memory, maps and phone calls. The MoveTheWheels concept turns it into two connected views, a route planner and a queue of dispatch proposals that a person reviews and decides on.

The route planner illustration shows one multi-stop route on a city map, with numbered pins, the drawn path and the vehicle's position. Beside the map, an ordered stop list shows each address with its time slot and up and down controls for manual reordering. A Route Info card summarizes distance, estimated duration, fuel cost and the number of stops, and marks whether the route has been optimized. An Optimize route action re-sequences the stops, and an assignment card attaches a vehicle and a driver before the route goes out.

Dispatch proposals bring the same decisions to the AI co-pilot. Each proposal names a shipment, its lane and load, and a recommendation: a specific driver and vehicle with a planned route, or, when in-house capacity runs short, a partner carrier. Each proposal carries a short rationale and the constraints it checked, and nothing happens until someone chooses Accept or Reject.

A side panel counts the day's proposals by outcome and lists recent agent activity such as planning dispatch, recommending a carrier and resolving an exception. The design ties route planning to the fleet and driver records, partner capacity and the governed AI co-pilot, keeping a human decision at the point where freight is committed.
