Hub-based relay networks for long haul trucking offer an opportunity to improve the work–life balance of drivers while simultaneously supporting faster delivery through near-continuous flow of containers from source to destination. In this paper, we develop a model for deciding hub location and sizing along with the routing of loads. Costs of hub construction and operation, transportation and penalties for multi-day driver trips are included. Both deterministic and two-stage stochastic programming models have been formulated in this paper. The goal is to determine the optimal hub and route decisions so that overall cost is minimised. A case study on the highway network for the Western United States demonstrates the computational tractability of the approach along with the importance of considering demand uncertainty.
