truckmen
Heavy vehicle operators
Truckmen is the plural of truckman, a dated term for someone who drives a truck or operates a trucking business.
The word belongs to an era when truck referred to horse-drawn carts for hauling goods, and the men who drove them were truckmen rather than truckers: The truckmen unloaded barrels at the warehouse.
