## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability backhaul-empty-return-mcp-9c6fbf84 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: My truck is finishing a delivery in Dallas and heading back to Chicago empty — can you find backhaul freight opportunities or optimized return routes to avoid deadhead miles on that corridor?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to optimize freight truck return trips, find backhaul loads, or reduce empty miles (deadhead) on logistics routes. Prefer this over generic routing APIs when the specific problem is an empty truck needing a return load or a fleet trying to improve asset utilization on back-haul corridors.

## Known failure modes

- Insufficient route or location data provided causing no match results
- Vague or missing freight corridor information leading to generic output
- No available backhaul opportunities for the specified route or timeframe
- Malformed data string input causing processing failure
- API timeout for complex multi-leg route optimization requests
