The occupations of Drayman or Teamster is very similar. Both of them drove for a living and hauled items from one place to another. A Dray was a hauling vehicle without fixed sides used for carrying extremely heavy loads. A drayman could frequently be found working at the railyards and transporting items of great weight for the passengers such as furniture. A teamster normally drove a team of either oxen, mules or horses. The term "teaming" was also used in reference to the teamster occupation; it came from two men driving the teams and spelling each other off. It was not uncommon that many of these men "teaming" were father and son or close neighbors. Some men who worked in these positions also referred to it as "hauling" or "driving a team".
