The fleet deployment problem for the one origin,one destination fixed-price contract requiring the transport of a given total amount of cargo within a given period is formulated and solved for the case that one or more cost components are given staircase functions of time. A computer program has been developed to implement the solution of this problem. The fleet deployment problem with one or more costs being random variables with known probability density functions is also formulated. Analytical expressions for hte basic probabilistic quantities, i.e the probability density function,the mean and the variance of the total operating cost, are presented. Finally, sample results are presented and discussed and some extensions for further research are suggested.
