Researchers have introduced FreightBidBench, a new public benchmark designed to address the scarcity of reproducible datasets for online truckload bid acceptance problems. This benchmark incorporates operational feasibility, fleet repositioning costs, and opportunity costs against future demand, using publicly available data. The study also presents two full-horizon hindsight ceilings and a parametric surrogate-rollout cascade policy, which achieves performance close to the rollout teacher with significantly reduced decision latency.
