'unload' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both to do with contact as well as being verbs in their base form.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'first of trunks carried by boy' is the wordplay.
'first of trunks' becomes 't' (gst letter of 'trunks').
'carried by' is an insertion indicator.
'boy' becomes 'geoff' ().
't' put within 'geoff' is 'GET OFF'.
