'Haulter' is a derivative of the same root, and it has been used in various forms to describe vehicles or individuals that transport goods. By the 19th century, the word began being widely used in the context of logistics and freight transport, especially with the rise of railroads and heavy freight vehicles. As economies grew and the demand for moving goods increased, the term 'hauler' established itself firmly in transportation vocabulary.
