haul
Pull with effort
Haul means to pull or drag something heavy, usually with sustained effort: They hauled the boat onto shore.
Extended uses keep the sense of effortful transport: hauling groceries up three flights of stairs.
As a noun, a haul is what you've collected or acquired—a fisherman's haul, a thief's haul, or the loot from a shopping trip.
A long haul is a considerable distance or extended effort: We're in this for the long haul.
