A loadmaster is a position held in the Air Force for a flight crew member who is ultimately responsible for the back of a cargo plane. For instance, in a C-130 a Loadmaster would ensure the aircraft is loaded properly and that all guidelines are met for vehicles and weight limitations. They also rig the aircraft for airdrop missions and assist passengers when pax are onboard. They ensure the aircraft maintains proper weight and balance and can usually be found sleeping in the back of the aircraft during flight

A loadmaster is an individual who loads cargo and then delivers it. Loadmasters are in the U.S. Air Force.

A loadmaster is the guy in charge of making sure an aircraft is loaded with cargo correctly. Broadly speaking, they package equipment (like trucks and such) for flight and make sure it's strapped into the aircraft in such a way as to keep it from moving (and damaging the aircraft or injuring someone).

A loadmaster has the job of loading cargo so that it is safe for the vessel it is stored in to depart without fear of the cargo shifting and cause a disaster. This includes both ships and planes!

A loadmaster assures the weight and balance are even, proper, and distributed correctly, for the type of aircraft he is in. Cargo must be secured for the orrect placement of weight fore/aft and left/right of centerlines!
He is also in charge of releasing it in a declared air emergency.

I believe that is the person who is in charge of loading cargo on the Aircraft. There are load limits, positioning and other load requirements that needs to be followed for the aircraft to fly properly and safely. I'm sure they have the same type of requirements for any vehicle that ships cargo. Trucks, Ships, etc...
