The paper introduces a generic real-time truckload fleet assignment and scheduling problem, which includes the consideration of various costs associated with trucks? empty travel distances, jobs? delayed completion times, and job rejections. A mixed integer programming formulation for the off-line version of the problem is proposed. Then three rolling horizon strategies are considered and compared for the realtime version. The comparison of the policies is done under a general simulation framework. The new reoptimization policy is shown to systematically outperform the others.
