Have you ever thought about how much truckage costs for moving furniture?

Yeah, I’ve heard it can add up quickly, especially for long distances.

Root Explanation

Truckage → It is formed from "truck" (from Middle English *trukke*, meaning a cart or a vehicle for transporting goods) and "-age" (a suffix indicating a collection or related to a process). The word "truckage" refers to the process or collection of transporting goods by truck.

Memory Tip

Think of a 'truck' as a vehicle for moving things, and '-age' indicating a process, so 'truckage' means the process of transporting goods by truck.
