								         A transportation problem involving three constraints: source, destination, and conveyance, where all parameters of the problem are fuzzy is called Fully Fuzzy Solid Transportation Problem (FFSTP). In this paper, a new method is proposed to find an optimal solution of an unbalanced FFSTP which the fuzzy numbers are considered to be k-scale trapezoidal fuzzy numbers. The k-scale trapezoidal fuzzy numbers are a generalization of symmetric trapezoidal fuzzy numbers which are considered recently in the literature. In this method, using a new ranking method, we transform the unbalanced FFSTP into a crisp linear programming formulation and find a fuzzy optimal solution for it. The considered model is not necessary balanced and introduced method will solve that without convert it to a balanced model. The advantages of the proposed method are also discussed.
