Reload: A reload is a load picked up at or near the place where you just delivered, so you do not have to drive empty for long.
Why it matters to owner operators
Good reload markets keep your truck moving and your deadhead low. Before taking a load into a remote area, check how easy it will be to find freight out.
Example
After delivering in a busy distribution area, a driver books a reload within 30 miles and avoids a long empty drive.
