The hauling operation is one of the key processes in surface mining. The performance of this operation affects other upstream and downstream mining activities. Therefore, any optimization in this operation can benefit mine owners in different aspects such as
energy efficiency, productivity, operation cost, safety, and maintenance program.

This handbook helps mine managers, supervisors, and operators to get familiar with the concept of hauling optimization methods. The practical advice and technical recommendations written to deliver in this handbook can potentially make a new roadmap dedicated to improving the surface mines’ hauling operations
