Freight that scales: van-loads, batching, and live ETAs

Shipping now moves like a real fleet. Every shipment is measured in van-loads (5 tonnes or 25 m³ each), and a carrier's depots keep a limited number of loads in flight. A small order takes one van; a 10,000-unit order can saturate an entire logistics company — its vans run the route in waves, and the delivery estimate stretches to match.

Two new tools to move big orders fast:

• Split across carriers — the supply and transfer screens now let you select several shipping companies at once. The order divides across them in proportion to each fleet's free capacity, with each batch's share, fee, and ETA shown before you commit.
• Live delivery times — every supply screen now shows an estimated delivery time, and in-flight ETAs are computed from the carrier's current condition. Repair a worn depot mid-haul and every shipment it's running speeds up immediately.

Carrier scale matters now: keep your depots repaired, your van fleets stocked, and your capacity free — the deliveries board on your Distribution Center shows van-loads in use per depot.
