Abstract

The article is aimed at determining the expediency of rational option choosing by reverse transportation loading during goods delivery in intercity directions. Five possible alternatives are proposed to truck returns while waiting for backloading at first step of researches. An integrated criterion is selected as a condition for rational option choosing of truck returns. It is a synergistic effect for carriers and customers of transport services. Therefore, rational option search to return vehicles with reverse loading is to choose the best values: maximum cost-effectiveness of transportation and minimum delivery period. The result is a compromise solution between carrier and customer interests. Such an approach will allow transport companies to expand their influence sphere and find new permanent clients.
