Travelling salesman allowed an early start, fully loaded (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

replete

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

'fully loaded' is the definition.
'replete' can be an answer for 'loaded' (thesaurus). I am not certain of the 'fully' bit.

'travelling salesman allowed an early start' is the wordplay.
'travelling salesman' becomes 'rep' (I've seen this before).
'allowed' becomes 'let' (to let is to allow or permit).
'start' says to take the initial letters.
The initial letter of 'early' is 'e'.
'rep'+'let'+'e'='REPLETE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for replete that I've seen before include "Well-supplied" , "Completely filled" , "Well-fed" , "Chock-a-block" , "Filled, well supplied" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
