Summary: "'Return Loads' to Increase Transport Resources by Avoiding Waste of Empty Vehicle Running" is a publication by the Highways Transport Committee of the Council of National Defense, likely written during the early 20th century amid the challenges of World War I. This book can be classified as a scientific publication focused on transportation efficiency. Its primary topic revolves around the establishment of return-load bureaus to maximize the use of motor trucks and alleviate the burden on railroads during a time of significant logistical strain. The publication details the operational framework and benefits of return-load bureaus that connect shippers with operators of empty vehicles. By allowing trucks to carry loads to their destinations and return with new shipments, the system aims to minimize wasted journeys and enhance the overall efficiency of transportation during wartime. The guide outlines state-level initiatives, the importance of community cooperation, and the practicality of employing local motor express lines for quick deliveries. By fostering a well-organized network of return-load services, the pamphlet advocates for improved logistics that can notably relieve rail congestion and support essential wartime manufacturing and distribution needs.
