With the rapid development of logistics industry, some interprovincial and regional Less-Than-Truckload (LTL) enterprises are developing and becoming stronger and stronger. It is desiderative for the enterprises to plan a suitable logistics networking, which is helpful to make transportation efficiency and also decrease the cost of the transportation. At present, few academic researches for these enterprises were made, especially the study of the direct-runs and terminal-to-hub LTL.The research in this thesis is based on the comparison of the two operation models , which are the direct-runs and terminal-to-hub. The methods and evaluation standards are propounded from the decreasing the costs and increasing the competitive. And the thesis carried on research by the mathematical modeling and numerical simulation. Some jobs have been done in the last paragraph.The model was established by analyzing and comparing the common ones. The operating costs are confined to the one-way from the point of origin to the point of destination in the most logistics system models. On the basis of the former's experience, the model is established to consider the operating costs of the shuttle movement synthetically by making creative improvement. At the same time, we quantify and analyse the operating costs of the two models from the system engineering. The shipper will consider not only the factor of price but also the efficiency, when they decide which company to choose. Based on the price and the timeliness of the delivery for the customers of both the importance of considering, the model introduces a competitive element. The model compare cost of the different transportation modes, thus analyses the customer-oriented competitiveness level. With the development of the LTL industry, the number of the cargo terminals will be increasing inevitably. The thesis compares and analyses the expansion in the two types."Direct runs" and "terminal-to-hub" each has its strengths and weaknesses. The thesis compared the operation cost, competitiveness and expansion of the two types. Some quantitative analysis is made on the enterprises decision-making methods that have strong practicability. In the end, the thesis took the Shandong Direct Express Delivery as an example, explained how to choose the best LTL...
