Definition
一路货 literally means 'same kind of cargo,' but as a noun phrase idiom, it refers to people who are of the same bad kind — 'birds of a feather' with a derogatory tone. You'd use it to dismiss two or more people as equally untrustworthy or low-quality. It is not used for inanimate objects; it always describes people.
n.
