  This research deals with problems related to distribution networks for less-than-truckload (LTL) freight transportation. More specifically, we deal with two relevant problems that arise. The first corresponds to the strategic problem of designing and configuring hub-and-spoke networks in terms of simultaneously determining the optimal number of consolidation terminals (hub) nodes, their locations and the allocation of the other terminals (spokes) to the hubs. .

More specifically, we deal with two relevant problems that arise. The first corresponds to the strategic problem of designing and configuring hub-and-spoke networks in terms of simultaneously determining the optimal number of consolidation terminals (hub) nodes, their locations and the allocation of the other terminals (spokes) to the hubs. . Once the network configuration is determined, the second problem, in the tactical level of decision, corresponds to defining the path that each LTL individual freight needs to follow from its origin to reach its destination terminal, at a minimum cost, having a hub-and-spoke network topology as a data entry to the problem.
