a humble eater of trucks, the loader devours mountains one scooped bite at a time
means A loader is a machine or device that moves material into something — most commonly the heavy front-end vehicle that scoops earth, gravel, or debris into trucks, though the word also covers anything (or anyone) that loads, from a software program to a person stacking goods.
from From the verb 'load,' which traces back to Old English 'lad,' meaning a way, course, or journey — the same root that gives us 'lode' (as in a vein of ore) and the 'lode' in 'lodestar.' Over time the sense drifted from the journey to the thing carried on it, and 'load' came to mean a burden hauled. The '-er' ending, the workhorse suffix that turns verbs into 'one who does the thing,' simply makes the loader the agent that does the loading.
