road warriors
Always-traveling business types
Road warriors are people who travel frequently for work, spending much of their time on the road or in airports.
The term suggests both the grueling nature of constant travel and a certain toughness required to endure it: As a road warrior, she's learned to sleep anywhere.
Business travelers, touring musicians, and long-haul truckers all qualify.
