In this research we developed an optimization model to determine truck allocation in open pit mining. The objective function is to minimize a total cost consists of investment and transportation costs. Investment cost is the purchase price of truck in early mining project according to the number of truck needed in each route. The transportation cost consists of fix cost for operators’ wages and variable cost in the form of fuel cost of trucks and shovels. The selection of truck types with different specifications is an important factor in the continuity of materials transportation by considering the costs incurred The model is solved using Oracle Crystal Ball Software for 5000 iterations. The result of optimization shows that Truck 75570 is selected to transport for route 1 and Route 4, Truck 75174 is selected to transport for Route 2, Truck 772 is selected to transport for Route 3, Truck 777F is selected to transport for Route 5, and Truck 7547 is selected to transport for Route 6. The total cost resulted from the optimization is IDR 295,783,073,068.69.
