This thesis examines the Guaranteed Traffic Program (GTP), a competitive, bid-based system of selecting low-cost motor, rail & air carriers for freight transport, as it is currently being used in the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA). A detailed description of the program is given from its inception through implementation, using as an example, the Defense Depot, Tracy, CA. Transportation costs and transit times, covering a three-year period, are analyzed to determine the effect that guaranteed traffic has had on these factors. Finally, a method of projecting future transportation costs is reviewed for use in transportation cost analysis. Keywords: Transportation; Guaranteed traffic; Depot rate analysis.
