freight haulers

Commercial goods movers

Freight haulers are vehicles, companies, or workers that transport goods commercially.

The term covers everything from independent truckers to major shipping corporations.

A freight hauler might be an eighteen-wheeler on the highway or the driver behind the wheel: Freight haulers blocked the border crossing in protest.

The phrase emphasizes the movement of cargo rather than passengers.
