If this variable is set to true, then the AGV will unload all of its items, no matter what their destination is, before looking for more items to load. If you are only loading/unloading a single item at a time, this variable doesn't make a difference. If you are loading multiple items at once, this variable basically controls whether an AGV has to be totally empty before loading, or if it can load new items on top of a previous batch of items.
