carloads
Freight shipment units
Carloads is the plural of carload—the amount that fills a car, whether a railway freight car or an automobile.
The word often emphasizes large quantities: They shipped carloads of grain.
Informally, carloads suggests abundance without precise measurement: We had carloads of fun at the party.
