AB  - There are problems concerning the movement of freight in Manado City which uses the highway, i.e.,
traffic jams. The main cause of traffic congestion in Manado City is the mixing of all types of vehicles both
transporting goods and people on the role of artery, collector and local roads, so that, the road network is not
functioning efficiently. The number of streets in the Manado City area allows the user to choose the best route
based on his personal perception in order to avoid congestion in reaching his travel destination. The purpose
of this study is to model the influence of the perception of freight drivers on traffic jams against route selection
and handling recommendations and strategies for the selection of freight routes. This study uses purposive
sampling where the sample in this study is a freight transporter which amounts to 250 drivers of goods
transport spread over 5 access in and out of Manado City. This primary data collection tool is a questionnaire
distributed through a road survey interview (road site interview). Instruments to identify the dimensions of
perception of traffic congestion in the selection of freight routes are the distance, VCR, travel time and
composition of goods transportation. The result of research shows that based on multiple regression
analysis with forward method, there are two variables that have significant effect on the selection of
freight route in Manado City, namely: short distance variable and low freight composition with model
Y = 0.325+0.534X1+0.406X4. This model gives the meaning that every driver of goods transport in all access
in and out of Manado City that in choosing the routes to be passed they only consider two dominant factors,
namely the closest mileage to pass and the low composition of freight transport.
