backhaul
A professional term for this is 'paluukuorma'. It is quite commonly used method for transportation of cargo that does not have to be in destination at a predetermined time. You just catch someone who otherwise would return back empty and thus is willing to take anything even in quite cheap.

return
"Paluukyyti" means the return from somewhere, but the actual form / choice of word depends on how the sentence continues. Maybe it is just some product that was returned. This sentence is spoken Finnish, so it would probably be just "X was returned to me".
