Abstract
In this paper, the authors discuss the design and development of regional truckload delivery fleets in support of random over-the-road delivery networks of continental scale. A detailed set of simulation models are developed to evaluate various possible configurations of regional driving fleets. The results of experimentation with these models are presented. The paper includes a discussion of various factors of interest in designing regional fleets and ultimately evaluates and recommends several possible fleet configurations in North America.
