Patent attributes
Systems and methods for control of a vehicle fleet system are provided. A disclosed vehicle fleet system includes a dedicated fleet control system for operating a dedicated carrier fleet having dedicated carrier vehicles. The dedicated fleet control system may be in communication with a common carrier control system of a common carrier fleet and may operate to assign various shipments among the dedicated carrier vehicles and the common carrier fleet. In particular, the dedicated fleet control system may selectively assign the one or more shipments to the dedicated fleet or the common carrier fleet based on dedicated carrier constraints and common carrier constraints. The constraints may be based on information received in part from an operator device communicatively coupled to the communication circuitry disposed in the respective vehicle, including an amount time that a driver has been operating the respective vehicle.
