Summary: "Return-Loads Bureaus to Save Waste in Transportation" is a governmental transport bulletin issued by the Highways Transport Committee of the Council of National Defense in Washington, D.C., during the early 20th century, specifically in 1918. This publication outlines a systematic approach to utilizing motor trucks more efficiently as a means of transportation, particularly during a time of pressing logistical challenges attributed to World War I. The document discusses establishing Return-Loads Bureaus as a method to connect shippers and truck owners to maximize vehicle usage and reduce waste. The primary focus of the book is on addressing transportation inefficiencies caused by railroad delays, shortages, and the underutilization of motor trucks. It advocates for the creation of local clearinghouses (Return-Loads Bureaus) within Chambers of Commerce to facilitate the transfer of information about available trucks and potential cargo loads. This initiative aims to alleviate the burden on the rail system by encouraging truck owners to find return loads, thus enabling faster shipping and improving overall transportation efficiency. Practical steps and examples define the processes for setting up these bureaus, emphasizing collaboration among local businesses and organizations for successful implementation.
