Italian term or phrase: autista di convogli di aiuti
Take from a review of a photographer, the full sentence, referring to the author, is:

Ho frequentato da autista di convogli di aiuti la guerra degli slavi del sud,liberi di distruggersi a vicenda appena tolto il vincolo di unione.

It is the "di aiuti" part that I am questioning. Is it something like a relief driver or assistant diriver?

Thanks
