milk runs
Routine supply trips
Milk runs are routine trips with multiple stops along a familiar route, named after the old practice of daily milk delivery.
The term often describes easy, low-risk military missions or regular supply routes: The flight was just a milk run—no enemy contact expected.
In logistics, a milk run is a delivery route that collects or distributes goods to several locations in sequence.
