    If you ask one what kind of transmission he has and he tells you its a 9 speed and laughs.....its a 5x4 2 stick.

    They like to light 'em up so that you can see all the BS runnin' down the side and back of their trailers! That is if you happen to catch one in traffic. Otherwise, they are just going too fast to see!:biggrin_2559:

    Had one tell me that they try to outrun the "smell." (He musta growed up a "CITY BOY!"):biggrin_2559:

    Yes I know what you are saying. Had the stainless chicken hauling trailer all shined up in El Paso at the Chevron and went in to eat(great mexican food in the day) came back out and a bull hauler had parked beside me.
    Did a little walk around and I noticed that the left side of my beautiful trailer looked like a etch-a-sketch. Well the new paint job wasn't what I wanted so back to the truck wash.
    Driver came back out and he was stepping higher then I was and I thought I would ask him where the cattle were coming from and he said they were from south Fl.(swamp cattle) and going to Az. I suggested he might stop more often and let them catch their breath, he just laughed and told me he would pay for the trailer wash. Great respect for those bull haulers.
    PS Don't know anything about hauling cattle only the dead ones.

    Those bow legged bull haulers are a different breed. Keep it moving fast, especially in the hot weather to keep the air flowing thru the trailer so the cattle don't overheat. The real bull haulers have that little do-hinky hanging on the back of the trailer "just-a swingin' ."

    A bull hauler in front of me at a toll booth in KY, paid his toll, then the toll collecter stepped out of the booth on the opposite side for some reason. As the bull hauler pulled out, a cow sprayed the toll booth inside and out with whizz(recycled hay). I pulled up and swiped my card and left & the toll collector still hadn't seen what happened. I would have loved to have witnessed his expression when he went back inside.
