Abstract

The rules on driving and working times set by the European social legislation have to be respected by dispatchers when creating vehicle routes, which is a partial task of the order dispatching process. In this chapter the impact of the legal rules on order dispatching is analyzed. Furthermore, the integration of the legal rules on driving and working hours in practical freight forwarding is investigated.
