A vehicle to travel as freight (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cargo

'freight' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'a vehicle to travel' is the wordplay.
'a vehicle' becomes 'car' (car is a kind of vehicle).
'to travel' becomes 'go' (synonyms).
'car'+'go'='CARGO'

'as' is the link.

(Other definitions for cargo that I've seen before include "stuff to be carried by ship" , "Goods in transit" , "Freight, load" , "Goods carried by vessel or vehicle" , "Freight of ship, plane or truck" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
