What does the term Loaded miles refer to?

• A. Loaded miles
• B. Deadhead miles
• C. Bobtail (Bobtailing)
• D. Lane

Answer: (A)

Loaded miles describe the distance a truck travels while it is carrying cargo. This portion of a trip is what generates revenue and is used to measure how efficiently a trip is completed, including driver pay and fuel-related costs, since the freight is being moved. It differs from deadhead miles, which are miles driven empty to reach or reposition for a new load, meaning no freight is being moved. Bobtailing refers to operating without a trailer attached, again with no cargo. A lane is simply a route or path of travel, not a status of whether miles were loaded. So the term loaded miles is the correct one because it specifically denotes miles traveled with a load.
