Backhauling

Term · Insurance and risk management · MLC-T-INS-000514

The practice of a commercial vehicle returning from a delivery with a new load, rather than traveling empty. This strategy maximizes efficiency and revenue for trucking operations by reducing unproductive mileage. In insurance, backhauling can affect risk assessments, as the type of cargo on the return trip may differ from the outbound journey.
