A wagon (in old British English waggon) or dray is a wheeled vehicle, ordinarily with four wheels, usually pulled by an animal such as a horse, mule or ox, and used for transport of heavy goods. Wagons were more commonly used before the popular use of automobiles.

The relevant profession is called wagoneer / waggoneer, carter or teamster.
