lorry drivers

Heavy vehicle operators

Lorry drivers are people who operate lorries—large trucks used for transporting goods.

The term is primarily British; Americans say truck drivers.

Lorry drivers blocked the motorway in protest of fuel prices.

The job involves long hours on the road and is essential to supply chains.
