I believe the answer is:

stevedore

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

'say waugh' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'rode haphazardly to unload cargo' is the wordplay.
'haphazardly' is an anagram indicator.
'to' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other) (I've seen this in other clues).
'unload cargo' becomes 'steve' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'rode' anagrammed gives 'dore'.
'dore' put after 'steve' is 'STEVEDORE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for stevedore that I've seen before include "One is employed at a dock to load and unload ships" , "Unloader of shipping vessels" , "One loads and unloads ships" , "one working in docks" , "Docker" .)

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
