wagoner
Freight hauler historically
A wagoner is a person who drives a wagon, especially one drawn by horses or oxen.
The term belongs to an era when wagons were a primary means of transporting goods and people over land.
Wagoners were skilled in handling draft animals and navigating rough roads.
The word now appears mainly in historical contexts or in regions where horse-drawn transport persists.
