“…Cooperative Truck Networks (CTN) are an idea from [1]: In order to reduce idle times of the trucks and overnight stays of the drivers, cooperate among various (small) logistic companies in the following way: Any driver leaves the depot with a truck and a full trailer in the morning and returns with that same truck and (maybe) another trailer in the afternoon. We call such a one-day home-awayhome truck tour a depot commute.…”
We use exact mathematical modeling and optimization to evaluate various operational modes of a cooperative truck network for full-truckload transportation.
