expressman
Parcel delivery worker
An expressman is a person employed by an express company to collect, transport, or deliver packages and freight.
The term dates from the era when express companies like Wells Fargo dominated American shipping, before modern courier services.
The expressman arrived with a package from back East.
Now largely historical.
