English term

shag drivers

English to Spanish Other Transport / Transportation / Shipping transport
I am translating some notes for a training session and there appears a list of some positions within a company.
One of them says "Shag Drivers (Shipping)" and that's all the context.
The client explained the following:
SHAG, SHAG DRIVER, SHAG TRUCK: Shagging involves bringing loaded trailers to and from terminals so that long haul drivers can DROP AND HOOK rather than spend their time loading and unloading
SHAG DRIVERS take the trailers to and from the shipping and receiving docks.

Do you have any idea how they are called in Spanish?
Thanks a lot!!!!

Sorry, OPERADORES DE REMOLQUES in plural for your translation.
Something went wrong...
4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Thanks a lot! The client said the vehicle in question was a "tractor", so the translation was "operadores de los tractores remolcadores""
