    I have heard both terms to describe cattle trucks. Just seems I have heard bullhauler more.

    I've heard bullrack and bullwagon for the trailer. The nicest thing I've heard the driver called is "bullhauler."

    If you sit and listen to the average trucker you might think most truckers are bullhaulers!

    Poor Swift driver was on his way home one day down in Mississippi , and about 20 miles from home he ran out of fuel.
    Bull hauler stops to see if he can help .
    Swift driver says " I run outta fuel and only 20 miles to go " .
    Bull hauler says " Hell I aint in no hurry. I got 'bout 30 foot of chain, we'll hook it up and I'll pull ya down to the exit ".
    Swift driver says " Well I aint go a radio so how we gonna communicate ? ".
    Bull hauler replies , " Well.....we get goin too fast or anything just move a little left and flash your lights " .
    So they get it all hooked up and start going down the road. Bull hauler looks in his mirror and sees this big ole truck with lights all over and smoke just POURIN out the stacks .
    He says to himself " aint no Chicken Truck gonna out run me " so he hammers on it .
    They get runnin side by side..... 120 MPH right past this trooper.
    Trooper gets on his radio " Hey Sarge..... You aint gonna believe what I just seen..... Bull hauler and Chicken Truck running side by side at 120 MPH . "
    Sarge says " Hell son that aint nothin ..... that's been going on in these parts for years . "
    Trooper says " Yeah but ..... d@mn Swift truck was going back and forth right behind them , flashing his lights wantin one of 'em to get the hell out of the way !

    The “time limit” is about 36 hours give or take. There is no reason to put it in the wind at 90+ unless you’re having a measuring contest with your buddy. My truck rarely went over 70-75 and guess what? I’d get there about the same time as the guys running 85+.
