We tried to formulate the relationship between unit cost or environmental load such as CO2 emissions and energy consumption per amount of logging residue and transportation distance. Generally larger scale transportation modes have an advantage over smaller scale transportation modes. The mode transfer from smaller scale to larger scale can be accomplished with an investment such as a setting of intermediate landing. In a case study, four transportation modes were considered, i.e, light truck, 2t truck, 4t truck and 10t truck, with a loading by a grapple loader at a landing. Results showed that the smallest mode (light truck) should be transferred to larger scale modes less than 2 km while middle scale mode still has similar advantage as the largest mode till around 10 km of transportation distance.
