Cargo load factor (CLF)

Term · Logistics and supply chain · MLC-T-LOG-000040

The ratio of the actual cargo volume or weight carried by a transport vehicle to its maximum available capacity. This metric indicates how efficiently the vehicle's space or weight allowance is being used for freight. A higher CLF suggests better operational efficiency and reduced empty space or unused weight capacity during transit.
