The return-trip engine. No mile runs empty.
Loopback is the intelligence behind HAYLO Market. When a truck is confirmed for a delivery, Loopback checks the marketplace for cargo demand on the way back — and surfaces it to the driver before the outbound load is even dropped.
THE RETURN-TRIP ENGINE
Free TMS. Fair marketplace. No empty miles.
How Loopback works.
- 1
Detect
A truck is confirmed for, or completes, a delivery. Loopback checks the return route within five minutes.
- 2
Match
Cargo demand within a configurable corridor (default 30km deviation from the direct return) is surfaced.
- 3
Time-align
Matches account for delivery-completion time plus a buffer, so the pickup is feasible — not theoretical.
- 4
Notify
"There's a load near your drop-off going back towards Athens — interested?" One tap to view the cargo, the fare estimate, and the pickup distance.
- 5
Earn
The driver accepts; a return that ran empty now pays — at a fee shown before accepting.
What Loopback considers.
- Route proximity
- How far the load is from the direct return route (default ≤30km deviation).
- Date alignment
- The pickup window fits the return timing, ±2 days.
- Cargo–vehicle fit
- The truck can legally and physically carry the cargo (e.g. ADR for hazardous).
- Driver rating
- The driver meets the corridor’s rating threshold.
- Demand intensity
- How much cargo is moving on the corridor right now — informs price guidance.
Why the margins work.
Every Loopback match is a transaction that did not exist before. The driver earns on a leg he was driving empty; the cargo company saves versus market rate; the platform earns 10% for matching supply to demand it created. Not extraction — creation.
We show the math. Brokers don't.
// mock — pre-GA
// Loopback, exposed: ask for return-leg matches near a delivery point
const loops = await haylo.loopback.matchReturn({
deliveredAt: { lat: 37.0389, lng: 22.1142 }, // Kalamata drop-off
goingTowards: 'Athina',
deviationKm: 30,

});
console.log(loops[0]);
