Optimization of freight logistics is crucial for economic development. Technology intrusion in logistics sector leads it to a new height. However, the major problem persists with freight trucks, either business-to-business (B2B) or owner-driver, is running back empty after they deliver their primary freight to destination. For enhancing earning, freight driver or managing company can leverage the use of an information system for finding out the customer in the return trip as well. Hence, in this paper, we first examine different aspects related to state of art and practice, for return trip truck appointment system. Further, we provided a modular framework for the system. The model of the system is so adapted that freight truck and customer, both behave as a resource to each other, equally likely so that ethics of trip-deal remain protected. The notification is generated according to involve intricacies like internet data connection fluctuation and driver illiteracy.
