carters

Those transporting goods

Carters is the plural of carter, a person who drives a cart, especially one who transports goods for hire.

The occupation was once common enough to become a surname.

The carters hauled grain to the mill before dawn.

Now largely historical, replaced by truckers and delivery drivers.
