The timber transportation is expensive, because wood besides having a light weight, is also deep implementation is often constrained by limited access, steep slopes and distances far away. The purpose of this study was to determine the productivity of timber transportation in industrial plantation forests of PT. Toba Pulp Lestari, North Sumatra, Indonesia. This research was conducted in the area of PT. Toba Pulp Lestari, North Sumatra, Indonesia. The research was carried out by taking a sample of twenty trucks with two different types of trucks by purposive sampling. The results showed that the shortest working time in activities transportation is the activity of unloading. The average volume capacity of truck was 10 m 3 and 32 m 3 , respectively. The results of this study indicate that the average productivity produced by both types of trucks was 0.57 m 3 /hour and 1.46 m 3 /hour, respectively.
