Management wants you to determine the optimum speed that the trucks should travel when going to the distributors in order to reduce Round Trip truck times to the four destinations (one trip to each) using the following assumptions and constraints: That the Cost per Mile provided in the Background is based on truck/driver costs and fuel. Semi trucks get about 6.5 mpg at 55.6 mph (speed used in this scenario) and the mpg will decrease about 0.14 mpg per MPH over 55.6 MPH. The cost of diesel for this scenario is $2.95 gallon If we ask the trucks to go faster we will need to pay for the additional fuel cost Management is will to consider allowing fuel costs to $6,000 if significant time savings can be realized Management has imposed a limit of 14.4 mph increase on average trucks speeds
