There is no activity that tells the truck to travel back to Queue2, so once it arrives at Queue3 all tokens can run through the process flow in 0s.

Also, it seems you are creating too many items at the moment. In the first row the row creates 109 tokens that then each create 109 items. These then also loop back and create items for the other rows of the table, although the source will create more tokens for those later as well.

Should the items be moved individually, all items of batch together or in a different quantity (capacity of the truck)?

Only 109 items should create at 0th time Truck should take all item and unload at queue3 this cycle repeats based on the global table value (Quantity and Time) (Travel to NN1 is the back truck i am used here instead of travelling to QUEUE2 )

I think the attached model should work as you describe. (Since NN1 is connected to Queue2, travelling to either is actually the same action)
