In recent years, the truckload trucking industry has faced a serious problem in retaining drivers. The primary reason for this problem is the very-long driver tour lengths that keep drivers on the road for extended time periods. In this paper, we present a mathematical model for a multi-zone dispatching method that addresses this issue. In addition to reducing driver tour lengths to desirable levels, the model captures important aspects of other practical problems via unique constraints that address the perspectives of both the truckload company and the customers. Using this model, we first provide insights into various aspects of the problem as well as the nature of the interaction among the problem components that pertain to these perspectives. We later develop a construction heuristic and a tabu search framework, which considers driver tour length constraints (a major determinant of driver turnover rate) to solve the model. We provide computational results illustrating the excellent performance of the proposed solution procedure. |
