haulers
They carry loads
Haulers are people or vehicles that transport goods, typically in large quantities over roads.
A trucking company employs haulers; a dump truck is a hauler.
The term often appears in compounds: long-haulers travel great distances, while trash haulers collect waste.
In medical slang, long-hauler now also describes someone experiencing prolonged symptoms after an illness.
