Introduction
Thailand logistics report 2010 by the Office of the National Economic and Social Development Board (NESDB) reported the logistics cost in Thailand in year 2009 was 16.8 percent of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) [1].
Bangkok is not only a capital city but also a manufacturing base of Thailand. The high growth of city brings the high movement of freights, both inflow and outflow of product. Most of the freight transportation in Bangkok is a flow of product from manufacturers to wholesalers and retailers, truck terminals, freight
forwarders, factories and modern trade outlets, depending on the type of business. The increasing usage for all types of trucks has a major impact on traffic conditions, road safety and environment.
The rise of fuel price leads to an increase in transportation cost which directly impacts logistics cost.
Transportation collaboration is playing a key role to reduce transportation cost, but it needs more
collaboration through information sharing among different organizations. The success of transportation
collaboration benefits both corporates and society.
