FIFO
First arrival served first. Simple and fair, but ignores cut-off pressure.
Shortest service first (SJF)
Minimises mean wait time; can starve large trucks.
Priority (cut-off aware)
Outbound trucks gain priority in the afternoon cut-off window. Recommended default.
Time window
Honors carrier-assigned windows; deviates only on grace.
