The reduction of empty trucks running helps carrier companies in the term of saving fuel costs as Walter Omsby says that, “some transport companies have reduced their empty running by over 50% using Findatruckload” (Findatruckload dumps, 2010). This is also sustainable as it reduces carbon emission, and Findatruckload is even commended for New Plymouth district council environmental…
