Return Routes

Every empty van is wasted money — and wasted CO₂.

Transport companies publish trips that are happening anyway. Your job rides along — cheaper for you, profitable for them, cleaner for everyone.

Why a return route costs less

A dedicated transport pays for every kilometre twice — the trip to you, and the empty drive back. On a return route, the van was making the journey anyway: you only share kilometres that were already paid for.

outbound loaded + return empty — you pay for both

Clients save real money

A van already driving your corridor only charges for shared kilometres — and you still compare up to 3 competing quotes.

Everyone cuts CO₂

Every filled return is a dedicated round trip that never happens — fewer vans on the road doing the same work.

How it works

  1. 1

    Companies publish routes — from, to, date and free capacity. It takes 30 seconds.

  2. 2

    You request transport — from the board (pre-filled) or normally; companies driving your corridor (±3 days) are invited first.

  3. 3

    Normal Temise rules apply — blind price ranking, contacts unlocked on confirmation, verified reviews, numbered award document.

Questions, answered

Does using a route cost me anything extra?

No. Requesting quotes is free and identical to any Temise request — the route only means a company with near-zero marginal cost is invited first, which usually means better prices for you.

What if my dates don't match a route exactly?

Routes match within ±3 days of your desired date. And your request always goes to matching transport companies too — the route is a bonus, never a limitation.

How is the CO₂ estimate calculated?

A light commercial vehicle emits ≈250 g CO₂/km. On a typical 300 km corridor, a filled return replaces a dedicated round trip — avoiding roughly 70 kg of CO₂. Real savings depend on distance and vehicle; we label all estimates.

I'm a transport company — what does publishing cost?

Nothing. Routes are free (up to 10 active), quoting is free, and you only ever pay a small success fee when a client picks you and you confirm — €0 during launch.

* Estimate: light commercial vehicle ≈ 250 g CO₂/km × ~300 km average corridor.
