In Thailand pickup truck is the most popular vehicle both for individual and organization. Manufacturing sector also uses pickup trucks to delivery products. Empty truck run is a major problem for transportation sector which increases transportation cost and inefficient use of energy. This paper attempts to present the information gathered from the survey and to provide general characteristics of pickup truck runs in manufacturing sector. More than 95 percent of backhaul trips using pickup truck were empty. Information of truck trips from each factory is the key point to lower empty miles by joint transportation processes. The survey showed that if the information of empty truck runs was shared and the matching of truck trips was carried out, a total empty mile of 15,161 kilometers out of 220 pairs of matching backhaul trips, or 15.36 percent of total truck runs, could be saved. Consequently, the cost of product will be reduced.
