The results show that there are potentials for matching backhaul truck runs that can reduce transportation
cost. Information sharing is a key success factor for matching process. The information required is simple
and general data such as origin and destination point, type of truck use, constraint of container, time window
for delivery product. etc.
The inefficient truck run, especially for backhaul trip, should be improved for better transportation
planning both internal integration and external integration [5]. The traditional transport task is just pushing
the product from production process or warehouse to customers without concern about efficient energy
consumption. Both internal and external organizations must plan and work together to avoid any waste in
energy for transportation. Internal integration means the manufacturing department must plan its production
process along with the sale team, while the sale department needs to work with the transport department to
arrange for optimal transportation.
Proper planning among departments can reduce inefficient transportation of partially loaded truck.
External integration is the cooperation with other factories in nearby location or on the same route of
transport. The alliance of transport should be able to share truck load so as to reduce empty truck run in
backhaul trip. External integration should start with the familiar organizations such as customers and
suppliers, etc
