Milk run

A mode of delivery in which different suppliers transport different goods in a single transport. The individual loads are picked up by one supplier and delivered to the customer. The suppliers involved in the process determine the quantity and weight of the goods available and the time window for their collection and delivery to the customer.The Milk-RUN approach is a way to optimise transport, enabling drivers to avoid the same routes, resulting in more delivery options to more operators. 
Milk run is useful for products:

- short shelf life

- sensitive goods: food, pharmaceuticals and electronics.
