Return Loads & Backloads for Trucks & HGVs Across UK & Europe
Return loads, solving the issue of wasted miles
Returning from a delivery with an empty truck is a problem for everyone in the haulage industry. Whether you’re an owner driver, haulage business or freight forwarder, a lorry running empty is a wasted opportunity and a waste of money.
There are almost 500,000 live haulage loads available on Haulage Exchange every month, from every part of the UK. If you’re a haulage driver, you can add future journeys to tell other Haulage Exchange members when you’ll be available, finding backloads to avoid wasted miles.
Looking for a specific location? Find return loads in London, return loads from Scotland, and Devon.
