"Return-Loads Bureaus to Save Waste in Transportation" written by the Highways Transport Committee of the Council of National Defense, is a bulletin published in 1918 to promote the efficient use of motor trucks during World War I. The book focuses on solving transportation problems like delays and shortages by creating Return-Loads Bureaus, which are local offices within Chambers of Commerce. These bureaus would connect shippers with truck owners, making sure trucks didn't travel empty on return trips. The main purpose of the book is to alleviate the strain on railroads by offering a faster shipping option and improving transportation efficiency through cooperation and organization among local businesses. With practical steps and real examples provided, the story highlights the importance of collaboration to resolve logistical problems attributed to World War I.
