Modern economic conditions, requiring directors to make management decisions aimed at fulfilling the contracts terms and to earn a profit, are underscored. The purpose of the study is to develop a schedule-planning system of a motor transport enterprise (MTE) in order to fulfil the contracts terms and to earn a profit at the expense of commercial and technical maintenance interrelation during the freighting in interurban communication. Records of Commercial and technical operation are submitted in a form of indicators, depending on length of the ride in interurban communication with the cargo and the shipment mass. A scheme, scoring the results of scheduling the upper and lower limits of the ride haul distance with the cargo and the shipments mass with a probability of 0.95, is proposed. The system has been developed under the current methodology concept of the freight MTE work, contemplating the commercial and technical operation correlation and allowing considering the MTE running in the freighting in interurban communication as a probability process. The economic efficiency of the current MTE work scheduling is estimated by the profit margin. For the practical implementation of the proposed system, the author-developed scientific software was used. The use of the developed scheduling system on practice has provided more profit than the profit calculated by the applied method by 10.8%. The presented system will allow determining the planned indicators of commercial and technical operation, costs, results and profits to fulfill the contracts terms by a certain technological scheme in accordance with the needs for freighting, which should be taken into account when managing the resources and capacity of motor transport enterprises on the efficiency criteria basis.
