    Never seen a bull hauler speeding or in a hurry, hmmm
    I have never even heard of a bull hauler that wasn't in a hurry.

    The last time few times I’ve heard of bull/cattle haulers being in a rush they have ended up flipping their rigs (sometimes spilling their contents inside).
    Especially near SLC for some reason or another.

    They have turned them over for as long as there has been trucks, not a bull hauler thing any more than any other freight.
    When a bull hauler loads, he has to go, there is no such thing as wasting time period, they are in a rush, it is the nature of the beast.
     
    Woodys and Bud A. Thank this.

    I see bullwagons speeding all the time. I don't really hold it against them, though. The nature of their freight demands it of them

    If the pickup driver hadn’t been killed, then the first passerby would have had to stop and put a bullet into that empty skull.

    May Hell be the place he gets to re-live that last four seconds for an eternity.

    This, lol. I’m governed at 70 and I have yet to pass a bull hauler. Been passed like I’m standing still by ‘em though...

    Once in a while I have to give the Hauler his Monfort Lane as fast as I was back then. The problem was I was not fast enough.

    He died a hero.. Lost his life saving his best friend.

    “TNN has also learned Pierce survived the initial crash.

    Witnesses observed him able to make his way out of the semi, along with helping Blue, his dog, out as well.

    A witness to the scene said the semi then burst into flames fatally injuring Pierce in the blast.”

    Wow, haven't heard anyone use "Monfort Lane" for a long time. Always wanted one of those rigs.
