| | Management of transport on a round trip basis | Explanation:
This was exactly the policy my previous employer in Austria used to use for road transport - over there they used the word "Rundkurs" instead of "Rundlauf". We used to say that we worked on a round-trip basis, i.e. sending a truck from point A to B and back to point A via C (which ideally should be close to B!).
Unfortunately I don't know a short and snappy way of translating it!

4 hrs confidence:   roundtrip processing
Explanation:
roundtrip handling?
I am just guessing: A 'Rundlauf' sounds to me like a set route between two destinations. If you haul something both ways you would have a Rundlauf. That would explain the inbound and outbound transport volume.
