What is Backhaul Trucking?

When a truck or trailer driver completes a haul from one city to another, they are making money for the miles that they travel. But often, these drivers will have to return to their city of origin directly after they have delivered the freight to their customers. This return trip requires the driver to travel the same number of miles, but without hauling any freight, which means that they must pay for the fuel to return to their place of origin without making any money to offset that expense. This can leave many trucking companies or independent drivers in the red.

Backhaul trucking is a method that truck drivers use to haul equipment, vehicles or freight from their destination city (Point B) back to their place of origin (Point A) without losing money on the trip. The truck driver offers transport service at a discounted rate to those individuals or companies that have freight needing to be shipped from Point B to Point A. Both entities benefit from the arrangement, making it a very popular trucking choice.
