The article presents a methodology for selecting a transport option within a distribution network. In commercial transport activities, economic aspects are an important component, which are also the basic criterion for selecting both the carrier itself or the option (variant). The paper presents a comparative analysis of the selection of a variant for implementing deliveries within a road distribution network from among four possible options, i.e. purchasing one's own transport fleet on commission, leasing and long-term rental. The analysis period was one calendar year, for which demand values measured by the number of deliveries were compared monthly and then the average variable unit cost of delivery was calculated for each selection option. The second component was fixed costs, with commissioned transport omitted from their calculation. In addition, expected values were determined for each option as weighted average probabilities of a given scenario and its financial result. The calculations were presented graphically in the form of a decision tree taking into account the results of each option within the proposed scenarios. Finally, a break-even analysis was carried out and final conclusions were formulated.
