As a fleet owner, the last thing you want is your trucks driving around empty, burning costly fuel transporting just your drivers on the roads when they could be moving more goods.
That’s why you should consider backhauling, a practice in which a truck picks up an additional load once a haul is completed and transports it back to a location near or at the truck’s initial starting point. Essentially, it involves carefully planning routes so trucks aren’t empty on return trips, maximizing productivity on the road.
GPS fleet tracking tools are invaluable for fleet managers looking to implement backhauling.
