摘要：	In this paper, the authors present the findings of sensitivity analysis and extended testing to support the implementation of hub-and-spoke transportation networks in truckload trucking. The authors indicate, through experimental results and through practical discussion, that limited implementation of hub-and-spoke networks may be very beneficial in truckload trucking. The experimental design for sensitivity analysis focuses on two key areas believed to affect the efficacy of hub-and-spoke systems in general: allowable circuity and driver availability. Following the presentation of the results of experimentation, the authors discuss limited hub-and-spoke alternative designs, associated marketing strategies, intermodal constraints and opportunities, and the possibility of using such systems to fundamentally change operational tactics in truckload trucking. An agenda for future research and development is presented.
