Hauling is the process of bringing an object to its designated
place. There are several specific types of hauling, based on the
type of item(s) to be hauled and determined by designating the
specific labors on indivual dwarves. Although not a term found
in-game, hauler generally refers to a dwarf in fortress mode who
has no labors enabled other than hauling. Once the dwarven
economy starts, haulers are usually the poorest in the fortress
as the hauling task only pays 1☼ per task completed. In large
fortresses where there may be great distances for haulers to
travel, individual hauling tasks may take a long time to
complete, and so very little money is earned. Haulers are good
candidates for cross-training to help improve their strength and
agility attributes, which are important attributes for moving
heavy objects across a fortress quickly. Many larger fortresses
use dedicated dwarves to do much of the hauling so that other,
more specialized dwarves will spend more time in their workshops
and less time draggi
