This study addresses the matters of territorial management, regional setting and spatial organization present in the conceptual and methodological basis of PNLT (National Plan for Logistics and Transportation), evaluating, from the perspective of geographical science, the capabilities of reading and intervening the spatial organization of transport systems from its planning instruments. To this end, we review the theoretical and conceptual framework for defining the geographical means of research for approaching the theme of freight transportation and, thereby, establishing the parameters of \"geographical reading\" to be used in PNLT s conceptual and methodological basis. After defining the key elements to understand the geographical issues of freight transport systems, we proceed to the approach of \"logistics.\" In this regard, we stress the ambiguous character of this concept, pointing to its operational capacity of the circulatory logics in the modes of production and, thus, emphasize its \"territorial\" aspects. By defining the concepts of Business Logistics System (BLS) and Territorial Logistics System (TLS), we address specifically the plan s conceptual and methodological basis. Hence, we conclude that, although it is important to break the inertia of the of the sector planning by the Brazilian State in past decades , the plan has reading instruments unable to geographically contextualize transport systems in the country, and therefore their intervention instruments , especially infrastructural projects, are settled in methods strictly based on demand supply/cost benefits perspective and, therefore, ineffective in the assemblage of space, territorial and regional issues that rely on the transportation system of Brazil.
