Use case
Return-load vehicle work, when the route is already paid for.
Use spare capacity on a known path. VMove supports return jobs and transporter-listed subcontract work — not a promise that every mile fills.
The problem
An outward delivery that returns empty has already spent the fuel and the day. Informal “anything heading back?” messages rarely include dates, vehicle type or a realistic collect window.
How VMove supports backloads
The product includes return jobs and transporter subcontract listings. That is the basis for this page. A backload is still a full movement: locations, vehicles, windows and proof.
Do not underquote the outward job hoping a return appears. Price the committed work, then fill the empty leg if a matching movement exists.
Process
01
Know the empty leg
Origin, destination and the latest collect time that will not make the first job late.
02
Find or list matching work
A dealer movement on that path, a return job, or listed spare capacity.
03
Check method and buffer
Driven vs transported, plus time if the first collection overruns.
04
Complete it as its own job
POC and POD belong on the backload, not as a note on the first delivery.
Benefits
Capacity you can see
Spare space only helps if it is listed with real postcodes.
Return jobs in product
The platform already has a return-job path — this page does not invent a feature.
Discipline over dumping cheap work
A backload that makes the first delivery late is not a saving.
Drivers stay on the transporter account
Assign crew to the return job the same way as any other movement.
Common questions
What is a backload on VMove?
Paid vehicle movement work on a return path — typically a return job or spare capacity a transporter lists after (or alongside) an outward delivery.
Who posts backload work?
Dealers post movements that happen to sit on a useful route. Transporters can also work return jobs and list subcontract capacity.
Does VMove guarantee fewer empty miles?
No. Backloading reduces empty miles only when dates, vehicle type and detour actually fit. There is no published empty-mile statistic on this site.
