Travelling goods will be in it (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

transit

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

'travelling' is the definition.
(I know that transit is a type of journey)

'goods will be in it' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'be' could be 'sit' (sitting is a kind of being) and 'sit' is found in the answer.
'it' could be 't' (abbreviation. e.g. in 'tis) and 't' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'ran' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for transit that I've seen before include "Passage of heavenly body" , "Crossing - passage" , "Passage of planet across the disc of the sun" , "Movement from place to place" , "In - - (en route)" .)
