Abstract

This chapter introduces service network design (SND) operations research models and solution methodologies specifically focused on problems that arise in the planning of operations in the trucking, or motor freight, industry. Consolidation carriers such as less-than-truckload and package trucking companies face flow planning problems to decide how to route freight between transfer terminals, and load planning problems to decide how to consolidate shipments into trailerloads and containerloads for dispatch. Integer programming models are introduced for these network design decision problems as well as exact and heuristic solution methods.
