hauliers
Commercial cargo transporters
Hauliers is the British spelling of haulers—people or companies in the business of transporting goods by road.
The term appears frequently in British news about trucking industry disputes, fuel prices, and logistics: Hauliers threatened to strike over rising diesel costs.
In American English, the same workers are truckers or trucking companies.
