TPVS - Minimum resource load constraint

Question

Hi  Friends,
We are in APO 4.1 version and TPVS  optimizer is being used to consolidate/schedule shipments . We have two kind of vehicle resources assigned to Transportation  lane via MOT. They are Vehicle type -A with maximum capacity  10 Tons and Vehicle type-B with 30 Tons maximum capacity .  Our business expects whenever  sum of fright units  weight comes less than or equal to 10 Tons on given route/Zone customers , then optimizer should load  those shipmetss only into Vehicle type-A or Vehicle type -B should get loaded only when total shipment weight exceeds 10 Tons . I am aware optimizer works purely based  total cost optimisation by meeting all constraints defined. 
My question : Is there any possibility  to define minimum weight constraint for vehicle in TPVS or any options. (Have explored compatibility some extend, but it couldnu2019t help me)
Thanks

Hi Rajesh,
The requirement is to load 10 tns on MOT A and above 10 tns on MOT B.
There is something in cost profile called "Cost functions and Load cost"  tab.
Define Load cost like the below:
10 MOT-A 0 to 10 Tons less cost
                     > 10 Tns very high cost
20 MOT-B 0 to 10 Tons Very high cost
                    >  10 tns less cost
As it is cost based optimization, Optimizer always selects less cost solution.
Hope ur requirement will be met addressed.
Thanks & Regards,
