leg

Explanation:
as in "portion of a trip"

in logistics they do talk of e.g. "empty legs"

Empty running:
With deliveries and collections being made during the same vehicle trip, there are few empty legs. Just 183 were recorded, or around 8% of the total, and, with an average of nearly 10 legs per trip, this is equivalent to approximately one empty leg per trip. This value compares favourably with empty running recorded for non-food retail fleets of 11%, where loaded return legs included those of only returnable assets or waste. It was rare for the surveyed fleets in the pallet sector to carry anything other than loaded pallets.

Hi MSH,
Sorry that time constraints meant that you were unable to deliver any feedback on wrapping up this question. It would have been interesting to discover your rationale in selecting the 'winning' version. As there was obviously less to this question than met the eye, I hope you won't mind that I have clicked on 'non-pro'.
Regards
AJS
