stagecoach driver
Horse-drawn cab operator
A stagecoach driver operated a horse-drawn coach that carried passengers and mail along established routes, particularly in 19th-century America and Britain.
The job required skill handling teams of four or six horses over rough terrain.
The term now appears mainly in historical contexts, westerns, and period fiction.
