schleppers

Those who lug

Schleppers is the plural of schlepper, a Yiddish-derived term for someone who hauls or drags things around, often with connotations of doing tedious, unglamorous work.

It can describe movers, porters, or anyone doing manual labor.

The word also carries a mildly disparaging sense when applied to a person who is slow, awkward, or incompetent: Don't send those schleppers to handle the delivery.
