Laadvraag

Laadvraag is a Dutch term formed from laad (load) and vraag (question). It does not have a single, universally accepted definition in standard Dutch references and is primarily encountered in field-specific or informal discourse. Because it is not standardized, the meaning of laadvraag depends on context.

In logistics and transport, a laadvraag typically refers to an inquiry about loading procedures for cargo. This can include questions about the sequence of loading, weight distribution, compatibility of items with equipment, or constraints related to loading docks and deadlines. The term is often used in planning meetings or communications between shippers, carriers, and warehouse staff.

In information technology and data management, laadvraag can denote a request to load data into a system. Such usage describes operations like a load query, data import, or a data-loading action initiated by an application or user.

In research or survey contexts, laadvraag may be used metaphorically to describe a question aiming to assess a form of “load” on respondents or on cognitive processes, though this usage is comparatively rare and not widely standardized.

Usage and standards: Because laadvraag is not a fixed term, it is advisable to use more established language for clarity. In professional writing, specify the domain (for example, “loading inquiry in logistics” or “data load request in IT”) to avoid ambiguity.
