Abstract; Purpose – The aim is to examine the recent trend in empty running of trucks in the UK and assesses the potential for a further reduction in empty running in the food supply chain using a new technique.

Design/methodology/approach – Data from the UK Government's main road freight survey and other studies are used and to investigate the causes of the decline in empty running. Previous attempts to quantify opportunities for backloading are reviewed. The 2002 KPI Survey in the UK food supply chain created a large multi-fleet database of over 20,000 trips, which permitted retrospective analysis of backloading opportunities. A method was devised to screen these opportunities against four selection criteria and assess the overall potential for cutting empty truck-kms.

Findings – Suitable backloads were found for only 2.4 per cent of the empty journey legs, representing 2 per cent of empty truck-kms. The analysis highlights the operational constraints on backloading in a sector characterised by short and average trip length, tight scheduling and variable use of refrigeration.

Research; limitations/implications – The analysis provides a more accurate and realistic assessment of backloading potential than previous studies, though is still deficient in several respects. The main shortcomings relate to the sampling method and the structure of the Transport KPI Survey. The analytical framework requires further development to refine backload search areas, incorporate commercial data and permit sensitivity analysis.

Originality/value – The paper shows how retrospective analysis of the road deliveries made over a short period (48 hour) can identify opportunities for backloading at a sectoral level. It combines government statistics and original survey data to provide both a macro- and micro-level perspective on the empty running problem.

Update on the Scottish Executive Freight Industry Study

Provisional evidence suggests that reduced activity in the manufacturing sector is also having a big impact. There are more goods being imported into Scotland with an estimated 140,000 empty trucks returning to England per year.
