In the multi-size Inland Container Transportation Problem (mICT) trucks are able to transport up to two 20-foot or one 40-foot container at a time along routes with various pickup and delivery locations. A mixed-integer linear program for the mICT is presented using two alternative objective functions: minimization of the total travel distance and minimization of the total operation time of the trucks. The presented model is tested on instances which vary in size. Computational experiments show that by means of the presented model small problem instances can be solved optimally.
