System, Method, and Apparatus for Generating Ratings for Material Transportation
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for providing material transportation efficiency ratings, comprising:
- receiving haul data for a plurality of hauls made by a plurality of vehicles, the haul data for each haul of the plurality of hauls comprising a haul volume, a haul distance, a haul cost, and a haul time; and
generating, with at least one processor and based on the haul volume, the haul distance, the haul cost, and the haul time, a plurality of efficiency ratings comprising an efficiency rating for at least one of the following;
each driver associated with the plurality of vehicles, each transportation entity associated with the plurality of vehicles, each haul of the plurality of hauls, or any combination thereof.

Abstract
The present invention relates to a method, system, and apparatus for providing material transportation efficiency ratings, including receiving haul data for a plurality of hauls made by a plurality of vehicles. The haul data for each haul of the plurality of hauls comprises a haul volume, a haul distance, a haul cost, and a haul time. The method also includes generating, with at least one processor and based on the haul data, a plurality of efficiency ratings comprising an efficiency rating for at least one of the following: each driver associated with the plurality of vehicles, each transportation entity associated with the plurality of vehicles, each haul of the plurality of hauls, or any combination thereof.

12. A material transportation efficiency rating system, comprising:
-
(a) at least one data storage device comprising haul data, the haul data comprising, for each haul of a plurality of hauls, a haul volume, a haul distance, a haul cost, a haul duration, or any combination thereof, wherein each haul is associated with a truck, a driver, and/or a trucking entity; and (b) at least one computer comprising at least one processor programmed or configured to; (i) for each of a plurality of drivers and/or trucking entities, determining at least one efficiency rating based on the haul volume, the haul distance, the haul cost, and the haul time, resulting in a plurality of efficiency ratings; (ii) ranking the plurality of efficiency ratings based on a scale or range, resulting in ranked efficiency ratings; and (iii) generating at least one graphical user interface comprising at least a portion of the ranked efficiency ratings. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A computer program product for generating material transportation efficiency ratings, comprising at least one non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising program instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to:
-
obtain haul data for at least one haul made by at least one of a driver and a transportation entity, the haul data comprising a haul volume, a haul distance, a haul cost, and a haul time; and generate, with at least one processor and based at least partially on the haul data, a plurality of efficiency ratings comprising an efficiency rating for at least one of the following;
each driver associated with the plurality of vehicles, each transportation entity associated with the plurality of vehicles, each haul of the plurality of hauls, or any combination thereof, wherein each efficiency rating is generated such that it is directly proportional to the haul volume and haul distance, and indirectly proportional to the haul cost and the haul time. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23, 24)
