Abstract

In this paper we approach an empty haul problem by Day and Ross, one of Eastern Canada's largest trucking companies. Based on past data, we optimize the company's backhaul. Sensitivity analyses then allow conclusions regarding whether or not it is worth taking on additional freight for specific origin—destination pairs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
