Abstract

Transport efficiency is becoming increasingly important due to their high impact on companies’ results. In this article, some factors which influence the transport cost are presented in order to perform an empirical study with the aim of determining the level of impact of each one. By analyzing data from 81 companies, we found which factors have more influence on transport cost and, consequently, on its efficiency. Study results also indicate the level of influence of each aspect depending on the type of fleet used. Considering the levels of influence found, companies could pay attention to these aspects in order to improve their transport performance.
