Empty running

What does an empty return really cost?

A vehicle can complete a profitable outward journey but still incur fuel, driver and other operating costs on the return journey if it travels empty.

Our dispatch team can search for suitable return/backload opportunities after the delivery — potentially reducing unnecessary empty running by identifying suitable return loads.
