From what I understand, dunnage means that you load all available *after* loading everything else.

So you could set a freighter to

Iron: load all
Bor: load dunnage
Germ: load all

And it will first load all available iron, then load all available germanium, and if there is space left on the freighter, load all available boranium.

Since you normally don't care much about boranium this can be a good set of orders.

Counter-question:
I read somewhere about setting up a "1000kt distribution network", which I presume means sending freighters around to make sure every world has every mineral in decent quantities. However, If I have a freighter on "set waypoint 1000" for all minerals, what I get after a while is a bunch of freighters filled with iron, and the e.g. boranium starved worlds not getting anything. Should I split the freighters into specialized carriers, e.g. 1 iron, 1 bor, and 1 germ carrier, or is there an easier way? (context was IT, so once the routes are setup it goes really well because of the gates...)
