truck drivers
Long-haul operators
Truck drivers are people who operate trucks professionally, transporting goods over short or long distances.
The term often evokes long-haul drivers who spend days on highways moving freight cross-country: Truck drivers kept supply chains moving during the pandemic.
The occupation has its own subculture—CB radio slang, truck stops, and the romance of the open road.
