Normally a new convoy is only sent out when the first one has finished the entire route. This means they will not be unloaded to B, but will be transported to C instead, which is what we want. To amend this, click on the little icon next to the X on a slot of building B(looks like a pause-button turned 90 degrees). However, this means we would unlock 4 water at B, and not have any left for C. You will now see four red icons showing water in station B. To do this, add both B and C as extra stations, and fill up the four slots with water. Let's say you want to bring for water from A to the others, and both B and C should receive 2 of these waters. First of all, you can add more stations to the same route.
One more about trade routes! The trade route window allows you to do some more complex things. I removed the last part as it has been changed in 5.1 Therefore, setting up one route with 4 goods is more efficient moneywise than setting up multiple routes with one good. Now the important part is that a trade convoy with 4 trucks costs exactly the same to dispatch than a convoy with 1 truck. This means you can have a maximum of four trucks in a route. Each 'slot' in the traderoute windows represents one truck. In the case of trucks, the used trucks actually carry more goods than the normal transportation trucks can. When you set up a route, you can add goods to be transported. The way these work on a financial level are not clearly explained though. Trade routes can be set up using the little arrow symbols in the top right of the screen as per the tutorial. Therefore, having short distances not only directly saves you time, it also saves you money. This cost is based on the amount of distance the trucks have to drive. Whenever trucks get dispatched, a 'dispatch cost' is charged. However, there is a second reason why this is beneficial. The first one is of course that trucks simply have to spend less time trucking from one place to the next, and time is money. Constructing your buildings close to each other has two advantages.
