Backhaul isn’t just about filling empty miles, it’s about optimizing asset utilization and building smarter, more efficient freight networks.
In today’s environment, timing and coordination are everything. As demand patterns shift and carriers become more selective, the ability to align outbound and return freight isn’t just a cost-saving tactic, but a competitive advantage.
At Enzo Logistics, we actively build routes with intentional backhaul strategy.
That means:
✅ Pre-positioning capacity based on recurring outbound freight zones
✅ Leveraging regional projects to secure consistent return loads
✅ Coordinating with shippers in adjacent markets to reduce deadhead mileage
For example, if we’re delivering weekly loads into the Greater Toronto Area from the U.S. Midwest, we immediately begin scouting outbound Canadian freight that can align with our drivers’ return schedules. This doesn’t just reduce waste, it enables faster turnarounds, stable pricing, and stronger carrier relationships.
Backhaul isn’t a secondary priority, but a key pillar of sustainable, cost-effective transportation. When brokers think beyond the load board and plan ahead, everyone in the supply chain wins.
