@ Martine what you described is not what would be called in UK a "runner" of any description, but what would be a "roadie" if it was a touring show - if you are translating from CA EN info CA FR, it would help to add this little detail.

Un messager, ou un courrier transportent des messages. Un coursier transporte toutes sortes de choses. J'ai été coursier autrefois, certaines nuits, aux Halles de Paris. On transportait des cageots, des boîtes, des valises... et parfois des messages.

In this case, the "runner" is the person who will wheel the cases from the truck to the staging area and then "run" the product to the bins.
