What is a hauler in film production?

Updated June 2026 · Revolution Picture Cars

A hauler is the transportation provider responsible for physically moving picture cars between storage facilities, prep shops, and filming locations.

Haulers use enclosed or flatbed trailers sized to the vehicles in question and coordinate with the picture car coordinator and transportation captain to ensure vehicles arrive in correct condition and on schedule. On union productions, hauling falls under Teamsters jurisdiction and must be performed by qualified drivers with the appropriate commercial license and endorsements.
