Partial Load refers to a shipment that does not occupy the full capacity of a truck or container. The cargo takes up only part of the available space, and the remaining space may be used for other shipments from different customers.
This method is commonly used in logistics to reduce transportation costs when a single shipment is not large enough to fill a full vehicle or container.
Characteristics:
The cargo uses only a portion of the transport capacity
Often combined with other shipments
Requires good planning and cargo separation
