Abstract
A central system, or server, may store information for determining the schedules of drivers. For example, the information may include loads assigned to the drivers, training, lunch breaks, time off, and/or other commitments. The central system may centrally store the information to efficiently and conveniently determine and update schedules. The central system may allow drivers and/or carriers to manage driver onboarding, training, compliance, scheduling, work assignment, and reporting, as well as build monthly, weekly, and daily schedules. The central system may also automate matching drivers to loads, balances work distribution, reduce human errors, and assist in audits.
