Abstract: Empty truck in backhauling is one of the main problems faced by the land freight transportation system. The idea of sharing logistics, in the form of truck sharing, emerges as extended and inherent needs of sharing economy that contributes to the mobility sharing segment to solve an empty backhauling problem. The purpose of sharing logistics is to decrease transportation costs, maximise utilisation of the truck, and reduce carbon emission. This study aims to provide state of the art of the sharing logistic field of study, current practice, challenges, and future direction of sharing logistics that is generated from sharing economy and shared mobility. We employ depth interviews and survey targeting several small and medium enterprises (SME) in Java Island of Indonesia and large enterprises that practicing mobility sharing for cars and motorcycle. As a result, the usage and application of sharing logistics are currently limited to internal uses of the company, and the barriers to implementing are coming from carriers, consumers, producers, infrastructure, and the environment. This study elaborates those barriers through the fishbone diagram as well as delivers the know-how of sharing logistic works.
