Abstract: This report uses synthetic cost analysis to develop total costs for a bulk milk transport carrying a 47,300-pound payload. Total trip costs are analyzed on the basis of mileage hauled, hundredweight, and hundredweight trip mile. Results indicate cost per hundredweight trip mile is much greater for short-haul trips than for longer trips.
