Optym Truckload optimizes load planning and dispatch for asset-based truckload carriers. It connects to your existing TMS to pull in loads, drivers, and GPS locations, then matches every load to the right driver to cut deadhead and improve asset utilization. Integrated with Platform Science, it plans against live Hours of Service and position data, so plans built days ahead stay accurate.
Optym Truckload plans the whole fleet in seconds. It connects to your existing TMS to pull in loads, drivers, and GPS locations, along with live Hours of Service from your ELD. It then evaluates millions of feasible driver-load matches in real time and recommends the best ones.
Every recommendation reflects how your operation runs, scored against available driving hours, driver preferences and home time, dedicated lane and customer commitments, commodity and trailer requirements, and your pay programs.
Planners see the reasoning and score behind each one, plus the ranked alternatives, then accept or reject. And as the day changes, the optimization runs live in the background and recommends changes throughout the day
Load planning - Evaluates millions of feasible driver-load matches in real time and recommends the best ones based on HOS, pay, lanes, customer requirements, and cost.
Hours of Service compliant – Always recommends HOS compliant plans.
Driver preferences and home time - Builds tours around weekly miles, locations to avoid, home time, and time-off requests.
Relay optimization - Determines the best times and locations to relay loads, accounting for local versus over-the-road range limits.
Load sourcing - Searches multiple load boards and ranks spot freight by profitability, feasibility, and network fit.
Load consolidation - Combines partial and LTL shipments into multi-stop full truckload movements.
Fuel optimization - Builds a fueling plan for each route. Where to stop, which locations to use, and how many gallons to buy.
Dedicated fleet management - Uses fleet matching rules and backhaul sequencing to keep dedicated drivers on their customers and lanes.
ETA visibility - Calculates arrival times from planned miles and remaining hours, then updates them as driver positions come in.
Explainable scoring - Connects every recommendation to core KPIs like cost, utilization, and performance, and shows the alternatives.
Fewer empty miles - Optimized assignments and sourced backhauls put freight on trucks that would otherwise run empty.
More freight on the same fleet - Better sequencing and relays free up capacity without adding trucks or drivers.
Margin on every assignment - Each recommendation is scored on profit using your real pay programs and costs.
Lower fuel spend - Route-aware fuel planning weighs pump price against detour cost.
Drivers get the miles they were promised - Weekly targets, home time, and preferences are built into the plan.
Planners keep control - Every recommendation is explained, and any of them can be overridden before it publishes.
Fewer service failures - Pickup and delivery times are built into the plan, and arrival times update as drivers move, so problems surface early.
