more general; can be any weight carried by any means, including animals or people (a load of firewood; a heavy load)

Cargo is typically uncountable in general reference (The cargo arrived safely). For a specific load, use a cargo of + noun (a cargo of wheat). Do not use cargo for personal bags or small items carried by hand — that meaning belongs to load or luggage.
