agree  Ross Andrew Parker: Yes, wagoner or cart driver http://ca.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traginer. I think it might be best to avoid the more restrictive "muleteer".

Explanation:
These guys did indeed transport things around, but the key is that they did so by horse (or mule) and CART. If you ever come to Igualada there is a great Traginer Museum with examples of these old carts and also a restaurant called "Els Traginers" decorated with cartwheels, bridles and horse brasses where four people can eat a meal inside a huge barrel :)
