1. A computer-implemented method for allowing management of transportation resources, the method comprising:
- rendering, using a computer, a map of a geographical region on a user interface;
rendering on the map, using the computer, representations of a set of one or more available transportation resources at representations of current geographical locations of the one or more transportation resources;
rendering on the map, using the computer, representations of one or more unassigned loads at representations of current geographical locations of the one or more loads;
receiving user input selecting, directly on the map, representations of a first set of one or more transportation resources and representations of a first set of one or more loads, and defining, directly on the user interface, a transportation operation in which the first set of transportation resources is assigned to transport the first set of loads from one or more geographical pickup locations to one or more geographical destination locations; and
executing code to perform the transportation operation based on the user input on the user interface.

Abstract
Exemplary embodiments provide transportation management systems, devices and methods that allow display and management of transportation resources and operations in an integrated manner. Exemplary embodiments may provide, for example, a single dynamic and interactive interface for executing inbound transportation operations (procurement or pickup), outbound transportation operations (delivery or shipment), and operations in which multiple transportation resources are matched to one another.

16. A computer system for allowing management of transportation resources, the system comprising:
-
a display device for displaying a user interface, the user interface presenting; a map of a geographical region, representations of one or more available transportation resources rendered on the map at representations of current geographical locations of the one or more transportation resources, and representations of one or more unassigned loads rendered on the map at representations of current geographical locations of the one or more loads; and a processor programmed to; receive user input selecting, directly on the map, representations of a first set of one or more transportation resources and representations of a first set of one or more loads, and defining, directly on the user interface, a transportation operation in which the first set of transportation resources are assigned to transport the first set of loads from a geographical pickup location to a geographical destination location, and execute code to perform the transportation operation based on the user input on the user interface. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30)

31. One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing computer-executable instructions for performing a method for allowing management of transportation resources, the method comprising:
-
rendering, using a computer, a map of a geographical region on a user interface; rendering on the map, using the computer, representations of a set of one or more available transportation resources at representations of current geographical locations of the one or more transportation resources; rendering on the map, using the computer, representations of one or more unassigned loads at representations of current geographical locations of the one or more loads; receiving user input selecting, directly on the map, representations of a first set of one or more transportation resources and representations of a first set of one or more loads, and defining, directly on the user interface, a transportation operation in which the first set of transportation resources is assigned to transport the first set of loads from one or more geographical pickup locations to one or more geographical destination locations; and executing code to perform the transportation operation based on the user input on the user interface. - View Dependent Claims (32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45)
