When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

leg
in logistics they do talk of e.g. "empty legs"
Empty running:
With deliveries and collections being made during the same vehicle trip, there are few empty legs. Just 183 were recorded, or around 8% of the total, and, with an average of nearly 10 legs per trip, this is equivalent to approximately one empty leg per trip. This value compares favourably with empty running recorded for non-food retail fleets of 11%, where loaded return legs included those of only returnable assets or waste. It was rare for the surveyed fleets in the pallet sector to carry anything other than loaded pallets.

Hi MSH,
Sorry that time constraints meant that you were unable to deliver any feedback on wrapping up this question. It would have been interesting to discover your rationale in selecting the 'winning' version. As there was obviously less to this question than met the eye, I hope you won't mind that I have clicked on 'non-pro'.
Regards
