truckload

A truckload refers to a large quantity of goods that are carried by a truck. It can also mean the amount of money or value of what's being transported.

Imagine buying new furniture for your apartment - let's say you just ordered 20 sofas from an online store, and they're all arriving at your place today. The delivery company sent one big truck with all the sofas, so we could say there was a huge truckload of furniture delivered to your door. Now imagine that each sofa cost $500, so if the truck carried 40 of them, you might have spent around $20,000 on just that delivery - again, it's a truckload! In business or trade, people often talk about how much money is coming in or going out as a truckload, which can be thousands or even millions of dollars.
