Summary The paper deals with the daily control of the vehicles in a network of less-than-truckload carriers. The operations in such a network consist of the regional pick-up and delivery traffic around the depots, regular line service between the depots, possibly through one or several hubs, and additional transports of partial loads between customers. The regional traffic planning, which is closely related to the classical vehicle scheduling problem, is not considered here. However, scheduling the trunk haulage tours is a quite different problem which has found little attention in literature, so far. We analyze various problem settings encountered in practice, present a new heuristic algorithm for a basic problem and report on computational tests with real-life data.
