The aim of this research is to identify the factors behind the challenges in freight transport by road. To achieve the aim, three objectives have been formulated which are identification of the challenges in freight transport by road, evaluation of the characteristic of freight transport by road and examination of the factors behind the challenges in freight transport by road. To achieve all the objectives, questionnaire survey, observation method and the development of partial least square (PLS) have been conducted. Questionnaire survey is conducted to the haulage companies. 12 challenges regarding the freight transport by road have being survey and the results indicates that the major challenges in freight transport by road are poor road condition access to port, congestion and poor loading/unloading activity at ports. From the results of observations on five selected major roads from Port Klang to Kuala Lumpur meanwhile, verified that some of challenges as stated by haulage companies in the questionnaire survey especially in terms of road condition and congestion, are still exist at present situations.
