transload
Move between vehicles
Transload means to transfer cargo from one mode of transportation to another—from ship to rail, truck to warehouse, or rail to truck.
The term is standard in logistics and shipping: The containers were transloaded at the port facility.
A transload facility is where such transfers occur.
The practice allows goods to move efficiently across transportation networks that don't directly connect.
