Sumario:The transportation management is fundamental to maintaining the company’s competitiveness seeing that transport represents around 60% of total logistics cost. It is also known that the transportation mode in Brazil is highly concentrated on the road transportation and one of the most significant costs for the trucking companies is the fuel cost. In this context, this dissertation presents the development of a mathematic model, based on concepts of operations research, which optimizes the fuel cost in the road freight transportations and assists the company’s decision making on refueling policy choices. Basically, in order to reduce the total cost, this model analyzes the fuel prices variations in a road network and, thereby, defines routes, gas stations and the ideal quantities of fuel to be refueled. Therefore, to assist the development of this model, the research raises the impact of the fuel cost on trucking companies and the majors academics articles related the refueling optimization. It was observed that this model can help the truckload companies in reducing their costs, and, consequently, to contribute to their competitiveness.
