hauling around
Carrying things everywhere
To haul around is to carry or transport something cumbersome, often with implied effort or annoyance: I've been hauling around this heavy backpack all day.
The phrase emphasizes burden—you don't haul around light things.
It can also mean dragging someone from place to place: She hauled the kids around to three different stores.
