Abstract

A device receives and stores location data and cargo transportation data. The cargo transportation data is received from a first system of a carrier and one or more other systems of partner carriers. The device receives, from the first system, a transportation availability request that is to be used to schedule transportation of cargo. The device generates and provides the first system with a recommendation that specifies recommended routes that may be used to assist in transporting the cargo. The device receives, from the first system, a booking request that identifies a selected route that vehicles are to use to transport the cargo, and provides the booking request to one or more other systems. The device receives a booking response from a second system of a partner carrier and provides the first system with an indication of whether the partner carrier has provided confirmation of assistance in transporting the cargo.
