What does "truckload" mean in slang?
The term "truckload" means a very large amount or quantity of something. The structure comes from the literal idea of what a truck can carry, used metaphorically to emphasize abundance. It is informal slang commonly used in phrases like "a truckload of work" or "a truckload of money," indicating something far more than a normal or small amount.
Examples
We were expecting just a handful, but a truckload of people showed up.
