Tramp Freighters

Tramp freighters, free traders, freehaulers. These are merchant vessels that don't follow fixed schedules, and are typically used to deliver people/goods to far-flung rimworlds and frontier stations. 
Tramp freighters often take up the same niche as pulp-era smuggling ships and blockade-running seaplanes--they go where most vessels won't go, for a price. The term "tramp freighter" can also refer to the occupation of operating such a freighter.
Tramp freighters tend to be smaller vessels--larger than strike craft, but much smaller than most freight liners.
