"Return Loads" to Increase Transport Resources by Avoiding Waste of Empty Vehicle Running" by the Highways Transport Committee of the Council of National Defense is a non-fiction work exploring efficient transportation methods. It highlights the setup and advantages of return-load bureaus, which aim to pair shippers with truck operators who have empty vehicles. This system allows trucks to carry goods on both their outgoing and return trips. The writing suggests that by reducing wasted trips, this method could significantly improve transportation at a time when logistics were strained. The book also touches on state efforts and community teamwork in setting up local motor express lines to speed up deliveries. The central idea is that a structured network of return-load services would ease railroad congestion and support important manufacturing and distribution that are needed during war.
