load Explanation: You're right to think it is strange, because kuorma is load. Given the use and misuse if English in Finnish business contexts, this company could mean something different by the two terms...perhaps one indicates a larger shipment with subloads. Just guessing... But kuorma is load. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2010-10-23 15:42:37 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Could they be using two different numbering systems simultaneously in different national divisions of the company? This has the feeling of something you need to go back to the source and ask about, since all you can do on you own is guess. |
