Abstract: The Empty Return Truck Booking System is a webpage-based platform developed using HTML, CSS, and PHP to improve the utilization of trucks returning empty after deliveries. It provides a simple and user-friendly interface where transporters can list trucks available for return trips, and shippers can post their load requirements. The system allows users to manually enter trip details such as pickup and drop locations, available dates, and load capacity. The webpage layout is designed for clarity and easy navigation, ensuring quick access to essential booking options and information. The backend, built with PHP and MySQL, manages the database of trucks, loads, and bookings. When a user submits a request, the system searches for suitable matches based on location, truck type, and capacity. The matching process is fully manual—users can view suggested listings and confirm bookings directly through the webpage. This makes the system simple, transparent, and efficient without needing complex automation or sensor integration.Overall, this web based Empty Return Truck Booking System helps reduce empty trips, save fuel, and improve coordination between transporters and customers. With its clean design, dynamic pages, and basic database connectivity, it serves as an effective digital solution for small logistics operations looking for a cost-effective and easy-to-manage online booking platform.
