1. Someone who lives or works in a swamp or swampy region. You'll want to hire one of the local swampers to help you navigate these parts. This little church has been the place of worship for Okefenokee swampers for nearly 150 years.

2. Someone who clears trees and underbrush to make a path for loggers in a forest. My job is to cut away branches and shrubs with my chainsaw, while swampers follow behind me clearing it all away.

3. Someone who works as an all-purpose assistant, especially for a truck driver or trucking company. I worked as a swamper for five years before they gave me the chance to actually get behind the wheel. Our swampers are expected to be able to unload an entire haul in less than an hour.
