The objective of this paper is to evaluate production efficiency of the commercial road freight transportation industry using quarterly actual data by individual truck drivers from January 2005 to September 2009. In addition, this study analyzes various impact factors that influence production efficiency, including regulatory factors (e.g., entrust management system and multi-level transactions). For this purpose, this study uses data envelopment analysis and a truncated Tobit model. As a result, production efficiency of the general freight sector is higher than those of the other two sectors. Also, production efficiency in the steel goods sector ranks the highest; meanwhile, production efficiency in the oil goods sector ranks the lowest. In particular, production efficiency indicators of the commercial road freight transportation industry fluctuate with time by a small margin, and have an upward tendency on the whole. Finally, some policy implications are given to promote production efficiency of the commercial road freight transportation industry.

Transportation enterprises should maintain constant and qualitative operation. Thus, in short period, transportation enterprises don't change supply in accordance with demand. In the result, transportation enterprises don't reduce operation in spite of management deficit at will. In freight transportation type, less-than-truckload(LTL) has more relation with above transportation feature than truckload(TL) does. Because freight transportation supply of TL is more flexible than that of LTL in correspondence of freight transportation demand. Relating to above mention, it appears that shortage of road and freight terminal of LTL is larger than that of TL. Especially in road and freight terminal comparison, shortage of freight terminal is larger than that of road. Shortage of road is the largest in 1990, and improved after-ward. But shortage of freight terminal is serious lately. So freight terminal needs more expansion than road, and shows better investment condition than road. Freight terminal expansion brings road expansion in LTL, on the contrary, freight terminal expansion substitutes freight terminal for road in TL. In transportation revenue, freight terminal's contribution to LTL is larger than that to TL. However, when we adjust quasi-fixed factor - road and freight terminal - to optimal level in the long run, in TL, diseconomies of scale becomes large, but in LTL, economies of scale becomes large. Consequently, it is necessary for TL to make counterplans to activate management of small size enterprises and owner drivers. And LTL should make use of economies of scale by solving the problem, such as nonprofit route, excess of rental freight handling of office, insufficiency of freight terminal, shortage of driver, and unpreparedness of freight insurance.

현재 도로화물운송을 분석하는데 가장 많이 사용되는 지표는 수송톤(ton)과 톤-키로(ton-km)이다. 하지만 이러한 두 지표는 도로화물운송체계를 설명하기보다는 단순히 운송실적을 나타내는 통계지표이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 한국의 도로화물운송체계를 설명할 수 있는 운송단계, 총 운송거리, 순물동량, 평균운송거리 등의 4개 요소를 추정하였다. 그리고 한국의 도로화물 운송체계의 문제점을 진단하기 위하여 외국이 도로화물운송체계와 비교분석하였다. 본 연구에서 발견된 주요결과는 (1) 한국과 대만은 운송단계와 총 운송거리가 증가하고 평균운송거리는 감소하는 추세를 보였고, (2) 한국과는 대조적으로, 미국, 일본, 네덜란드는 운송단계와 총 운송거리는 감소하고 평균운송거리는 증가하는 변화추세를 보였으며, (3) 시계열 분석결과, 운송단계의 증가는 GDP대비 물류비와 운송비를 증가시키고 운송단계의 감소는 GDP대비 물류비와 운송비를 감소시키는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구결과, 한국의 도로화물운송체계는 운송단계를 증가시키는 비효율적인 방향으로 진행되어왔고 이러한 운송단계의 증가는 GDP대비 물류비를 증가시키는 주요 원인임을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 한국의 도로화물운송체계를 개선시키기 위해서는 지능형 화물운송체계의 구축, 복합기능의 화물거점시설 확충, 화물자동차 운송업의 규제완화, 기업물류관리의 선진화 등의 정책을 통하여 불필요한 운송단계의 단축이 필요하다.

Jeon-buk is well equipped for the growth of the logistics industry as it is the center of inland and marine traffic. However, it was not activated because of the infrastructure insufficiency. This paper surveyed the logistics industry facilities, interviewed people who are engaged in its business, researched into their business difficulties and the problem of the logistics industry of Jeon-buk. As a result of research, this paper makes an alternative plan for the development of the logistics industry of Jeon-buk area.
