Abstract. A survey was conducted to examine manufacturers’ truck runs in Bangkok area. The findings of
the survey reveal the characteristics of the manufacturers who have their own trucks for transportation.
Empty truck run is a typical problem for transportation sector for an increase in the transportation cost and
inefficient use of energy. The survey found that out of a distance of 245,118 km. (per week), 85.75% of the
backhauls were empty, which accounted for 210,193 km. of empty truck run and 2,350,402 Baht worth of
inefficient use of energy in one week. The number of empty truck runs will be lower with matching process
enabling, where 14.59% of the total empty truck runs will be saved. The lower number of empty truck runs
not only benefits the manufacturers for the lower transportation cost but also provides a good impact to the
society as a whole.
