This paper presents the application of a multi-dimensional solid transportation problem to optimize the distribution of a soft drink company's trucks in Egypt.The objective was to minimize the fuel consumption cost by taking into consideration the vehicle capacities in addition to the destinations and sources.The results of the study demonstrated a significant improvement of 22% compared to the company's current fleet distribution, leading to an annual saving of approximately 5 million pounds in fuel consumption.These findings highlight the efficacy of the proposed approach in solving large-scale transportation problems and improving operational costs.
