| E1 | Economical operating cost | Economical operating cost of the tank truck has a principal role in giving cost advantage by creating values for the supplier and the customer. The operating cost depends on speed, maintenance, cost of insurance, license and interest, good infrastructure and less road congestion, and attitude of tank truck driver | Watanatada and Dhareshwar [32]; Levinsonet al. [33] |
| E2 | Economies of scale and fleet availability | Economies of scale is stated as occurring when an expansion of the output capacity of a company, fleet, or plant causes overall production costs to rise less than proportionately to the increase in output capacity. Large fleets may have enough financial strength to venture into costly operational actions that can potentially improve productivity. Larger fleets can obtain bigger discounts or rebates with, for example, bulk purchasing of fuel, spare parts, group short-term insurance, and finance costs (i.e., lower interest rate) with multiple vehicle acquisition, and enable the faster customer service | Heaver [34]; Cowie [35]; Seok-Min [36] |
| E3 | Readiness of fleet as per statutory requirements | The readiness of fleet as per statutory requirement shall result in less maintenance and better safety | Sowik and Sharpe [37]; AEA et al. [38]; Mckinnon [39] |
| E4 | Delivery unloading time span optimization | The optimized delivery unloading time span helps in increasing customer perception of value and enables the nonidling of assets | McCabe et al. [40]; McDonaldet al. [41] |
| E5 | Feedback | Feedback on performance and other aspects of business enable the transporter to understand his position | Huang et al.[42]; Heitmann et al. [43] |
