Backhaul is return trip. Many times trucks return without loads to their starting destination. And that means unpaid mileage. It is in the interest of the truckers or trucker companies that they get some load on the way back to where they started from. And that is what backhaul is.

Tractor Single Drive Axles
Tractor Single Drive Axles is an axle configuration in which there is only one drive axle. This arrangement is used in lighter trailer-tractor combination. It has less maintenance, original cost and less weight than other configurations but also has less stability, efficiency, dependability and fault tolerance than tandem or tri-axle system.
Check with your Freight Brokers if this configuration is good and safe for the freight that you intend to carry. Most freights expect trucks to have a tandem or tri-axle drive wheel configuration.
