Abstract:
Vehicle Operational Cost (VOC) of goods/material transportation greatly affects the delivery cost and the determination of destination basic price especially in Puruk Cahu. VOC must satisfy the requirements by calculating actual production cost, which issued by the owner of the transportation, to be government’s foundation as the regulator of official fare transportation and unit price of building material in the future. This research analyze the amount of Vehicle Operational Cost (VOC) for truck to bring the building material from Banjarmasin - Puruk Cahu with conventional method, obtains ideal fare based on VOC calculation from the transportation owner in order to pay the production cost, and analyze how big is the influence of VOC upon the increasing of material building price in Puruk Cahu. Based on the discussion, several conclusions are obtained, such as VOC of Banjarmasin - Puruk Cahu route for building material transportation especially iron reinforcement material and cement are in amount of around Rp. 8.744,31 /km and Rp. 891,14 /ton.km. Building material transportation fare based on actual calculation from the sample profil obtains minimum transportation material fare in which Rp. 8.100,00 /km and Rp. 840,00 /ton.km with minimum weight 9 ton, meanwhile, the maximum transportation fare is in amount of Rp. 10.450,00 /km and Rp. 1000,00 /ton.km with 11 ton capacity. In addition, the average of transportation fare is in amount of Rp.8.848,44 /km and Rp. 902,81 /ton.km with the average transport 9,81 ton. Hence, it can be concluded that the existing material transportation fare is a little bit higher than the VOC calculation fare result for Rp./km and Rp./ton.km unit. Furthermore, the influence of the increasing of VOC fare for iron reinforcement material is in amount of 96,93% and portland cement in amount of 94,63% and the rest 3,07% for iron reinforcement material and 5,37% for portland cement are affected by other factors.
