The Malaysian government is introducing a number of initiatives to try and reduce the effects of global warming. One of these is the road haulage industry, which contributes significantly as one of Malaysia's largest industries to the nation's effort to reduce its transportation emissions to 45% by 2030. However, the empty movement of trucks and improper transport planning by the management caused some delivery trucks to come back to the headquarters empty and did not fully utilise the space of the vehicles. Therefore, the researchers aimed to propose heavy goods vehicle (HGV) planning practice to solve the problems. This is a mixed-mode research paper in which data was gathered through interviews and estimated calculations. The data has been analysed by comparing the result of the simple estimation calculation with the operational cost and carbon emission. Based on the results, most of them agreed that by using the right strategy, operational costs and carbon emissions can be reduced. The researchers had introduced a few recommendations to enhance the firm’s transport planning practices that could contribute to the field of green logistics as well as the road haulage industry in Malaysia.
