Batch Load

In shipping, batch load refers to the process of grouping multiple shipments or orders together and processing them as a single unit for loading onto a transport vehicle, such as a truck, container, or vessel. 

Batch loading is typically used when multiple shipments are destined for the same location or when they can be combined to maximize the use of available transportation capacity. By consolidating multiple shipments into a single batch, shipping companies can reduce transportation costs, improve efficiency, and reduce the environmental impact associated with shipping. 

Batch loading can be done manually or using automated systems, such as warehouse management software or transportation management systems. The process typically involves grouping shipments or orders based on factors such as destination, delivery time, size, weight, and other logistical considerations.
