A method and apparatus for loading a traveling bulk container with bulk material. The bulk container is moved in a traveling direction underneath a loading chute. A bulk material stream is put into motion while the bulk container is being moved in the traveling direction underneath the loading chute. The bulk container is loaded with bulk material in the bulk material stream while the bulk container is moving along in the traveling direction underneath the loading chute, and is further substantially completely loaded in a front region thereof close to a front edge thereof with the bulk material. The bulk material stream is constricted at a front side thereof when the bulk material stream is put into motion thereby forming a constriction in the bulk material stream. The constriction in the bulk material stream is opened so as to follow a movement of the bulk container until the bulk material stream flows into the bulk container without the constriction.
