A method of transport cycle balancing is provided, including recurrently receiving first data indicative of movements of a plurality of dump trucks operating in accordance with a respective transport cycle including a planned hauling of material between a same first site and at least one second site, forecasting an imminent imbalance of inbound and outbound trucks for the first site based on the received first data, determining one or more mitigative actions for the trucks in response to forecasting the imminent imbalance, and communicating the mitigative action to at least one truck.
