Trucker's nick name for various thing on the road

Having been a "Freight Hauler" for a day or two in my career, it is a derogatory term used for the drivers who just haul freight, like Roadway, Yellow, Holland, OD, UPS Freight, etc. The guys who get paid the high $$$$ to do nothing but haul freight. Might I add I was always proud to be a Freight Hauler!!
