Pro Tip 1/3Transport Capacity
Payload refers to the weight a vehicle can safely transport, not its own weight.
Make sure the van doesn't exceed its payload limit by loading it cautiously.
Pro Tip 2/3Weight Importance
In transport, payload affects fuel consumption and vehicle performance.
Reducing the payload can increase the truck’s mileage.
Pro Tip 3/3Safety Concern
Overloading past the payload capacity can be dangerous and illegal.
The overloaded truck was fined for exceeding its payload.

White-on-black shootings evoke America's history of racism and so carry an iconic payload of menace. Black-on-black shootings carry no such payload, although they are truly menacing to the black community. They evoke only despair.
Quote examples
Buzz Aldrin
American Astronaut
When we can demonstrate that we can take off horizontally and put something into orbit, then we can begin to talk about increasing the amount of payload. But to say, 'I'm going to do that and put people into orbit' is a real leap.

Elon Musk
South African Businessman
On one of the SpaceX flights, we had a secret payload: a wheel of cheese. We flew to orbit and brought it back, so it was the world's first 'space cheese.' It was, in part, a tribute to Monty Python.

Canadian Astronaut
In 1983, NASA invited Canada to fly three payload specialists, in part because we had contributed the robotic arm that is used on the shuttle.
