I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'heavy goods vehicle' is the definition.
'artic' can be an answer for 'vehicle' (I've seen this before). I'm not sure about the 'heavy goods' bit.

'a jerk taking right' is the wordplay.
'jerk' becomes 'tic' (jerking movement by the body).
'taking' is an insertion indicator.
'right' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation).
'a'+'tic'='atic'
'atic' placed around 'r' is 'ARTIC'.

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for artic that I've seen before include "Polar region" , "Large lorry" , "Heavy transporter" , "rig" , "Large truck (informal)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
