What the heck is a drover?

My dictionary says, "someone who drives a herd ; herdsman".

I was under the impression that today drover refers to someone who drives an OTR truck filled w/livestock to the equivalent of a sales barn or slaughterhouse.

I always took the term to mean someone who had to do this driving for a long ways.

Could be wrong. It takes me several days of immersion to automatically understand a strong Australian accent.

Grammaw needed to go to the Dr so I drover.
