cartage

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

'freight charge' is the definition.
'cartage' can be an answer for 'freight' (thesaurus). I'm not sure about the 'charge' bit.

'trouble about the label' is the wordplay.
'trouble' becomes 'care'.
'about' is an insertion indicator.
'the label' becomes 'tag' (tag is a kind of label).
'care' placed around 'tag' is 'CARTAGE'.

'take' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for cartage that I've seen is " Cost of moving".)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
