Laugh, using a luge for logistics (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

haulage

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

'logistics' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?

'laugh using a luge' is the wordplay.
'laugh' becomes 'ha'.
'using' is an anagram indicator (the letters used in a different way).
'a'+'luge'='aluge'
'aluge' anagrammed gives 'ulage'.
'ha'+'ulage'='HAULAGE'

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for haulage that I've seen before include "Transport business" , "Commercial transport of goods" , "Commercial transportation of goods" , "Road transport" , "Transportation of heavy goods" .)
