Refrigeration logistics operations and perishable transport costs in groupage loads: an application for Spanish exports in Europe
In this paper, we analyze the current Spanish tariff system as applied by low-temperature distribution companies on transport in part loads of perishable freight that are destined to Spain's main European export markets. Using 2008 data that have been directly obtained from a sample of transpor...
