Explain bounce mileage

So I run a hopper bottom for a farmer, I am thinking of getting a truck one day and I downloaded the app to see what kind of demand there is in my area for hopper work. Can someone explain the bounce term for me? I read it’s the same as dead heading but looking at loads the math doesn’t add up. Like I saw a run that was 154 miles long and the bounce was 49 miles. If I am understanding the term correctly shouldn’t the bounce be 77 miles on that load? Sorry for the rookie question, I am just here researching.
