William Midgley's occupation in 1901

[tillypeg]

In 1891 William Midgley is a farm labourer.  In 1911 he is a Teamer for Nurseryman (or nursingman as FindMyPast have it). 

I cannot make out his occupation in 1901.  FindMyPast have Dry Packers Teamer but I think this is incorrect. 

Any suggestions, please?  The ref is RG13/4108 f78 page 14.  William Midgley 43 born Wakefield, at 10 Sheepridge Road, Huddersfield.

I think it's Dry Salter's Teamer.

Not a term you often hear today - brief definition at http://www.rmhh.co.uk/occup/d.html

Thanks arthurk for your response and the link, I agree with your suggestion of Drysalter's Teamer.  Not come across that one before.
