  • a data processor adapted to receive and store driving histories of drivers; and

    a terminal connected in communication with said data processor and used by a dispatcher for operating said data processor to;

    construct trip definitions of pending trip assignments,append each of the trip definitions separately to the driving history of each of the drivers so as to form driver/trip assignment combinations of all drivers and all pending trip assignments,process the driver/trip assignment combinations through an hours-of-service engine to determine which driver/trip assignment combinations are legal under hours-of-service work rules,calculate a fitness rating for each of the legal driver/trip assignment combinations, andanalyze the fitness ratings of the legal driver/trip assignment combinations against one another to select the driver with best fitness for each pending trip assignment.
