What is an Empty Return?
Empty return means a delivery vehicle returns empty back to the warehouse or to the next loading point after it has delivered the cargo. Empty returns are costly as the driver is engaged and fuel is consumed on unproductive miles. To avoid empty returns, businesses should look for backhaul opportunities to pick up cargo on the way back to the warehouse. Empty returns can also be minimized through route optimization.
