hauler
Big rig driver
A hauler is a person or vehicle that transports goods, especially heavy loads over distances.
Trucking companies are haulers; so are the trucks themselves.
The word often appears in compounds describing what's being moved: garbage hauler, car hauler, long-haul trucker.
In racing, a hauler is the large rig that transports race cars and equipment to events.
