Bull Haulers not playing Arizona bound '90 mph or better '

[rippersix]

I trucked for thirty six years. Ran many miles like that, with a crew of four, five or more. Loaded like a Boxcar, running like a Stockcar! 🏁

I pull a skateboard, my buddy and I were running together across Iowa, we got coffee at TA in Brooklyn. We get on the big road, it's little after 230am, and we are rolling. About 5 miles down the road, all we see in the mirrors are lights, lit up like Christmas trees. We're rolling a steady 80 when the radio barks and them old boys asked if we had fast trucks, we said hell yeah. 5 bullracks come by, zip, zip, zip, and that old boy said "hey skateboards, get in line, we ain't stopping until Walcott for breakfast". From there to Walcott, we never saw below 90mph, and it was absolutely awesome. Ate breakfast with those guys, had a good time. They are the last cowboys.

In 30 years of driving my biggest thrill was left lane loafing across Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona. I always fell in behind those bull racks coz I knew they were on a mission.

That's the good old days. A big truck goes as fast as it can but a Large car goes as fast as it wants. Lots of memories running with bull haulers over the years. Always make great time and usually in the left . Interstate 80 and 90 was fast when the sun went down.

For legal reasons, all of this was filmed in Mexico.

Back in the early 2000’s(2002-2003 approx)we were running across the Ohio turnpike eastbound at 2am in the morning(back then it was a strict 55 mph for trucks)...we ended up with 75 trucks in a 59mph convoy, Pete’s, Kw’s, Freightshakers, Cornbinders, bull racks, skateboards, tankers, vans, reefers, company and o/o, u name it it was in that convoy...that was the last time I ever saw-that many drivers running together and not 1 argument... it was funny ass jokes after funny ass jokes on the cb. I never laughed so hard in my life. We all stayed in line and everyone had a cb back then so we were calling out mile markers and that’s how we knew we had 75 trucks runnin a convoy.. I’ll never forget that night.. we all split up at the 80/90 split to Cleveland. I retire in a few months after 30 yrs and 3.6 million accident free miles... nights like that back then I’ll miss because it’s the total opposite now. Bull haulers, get outta the way or get run over.

Going out across I-20 in West Texas 25 years ago, 11 Bull Haulers running nose to tail like circus elephants passed me like I was sitting on blocks.
It was 2:00AM, and hardly anything on the road.
The radio silence was broken by the statement;
“If your west bound, move over, cause we’re coming.”
This was repeated a couple more times by what was obviously a big radio.
I began to see light bobbing up and down behind me in my mirrors. Each time the lights came into view they were considerably closer.
Then they were there.
I was in the breakdown lane holding onto my steering wheel for dear life. All 11 trucks passed me in about 6 or 7 seconds.
I hollered out on the radio,
“How fast are you going ?”
The reply came from the same deep voice announcing their approach previously;
“I’d Tell ya, but then I’d have to kill ya.”
In ten minutes they were completely disappeared into the night. I’m sure that they were going over triple digits.
They OWNED the road.

This reminds me of a trip east bound across Utah on I-80 back in the 80's. It was about midnight and I'm riding along all by myself just getting it in my 62 mph cabover cornbinder. I start hearing all these drivers on my CB just having a good old time but I'm the only one on the Interstate. I could see one set of headlights way behind me but they were gaining on me fast. Then those headlights moved left to pass. Then I could see a 2nd set move left. Then a 3rd, 4th, 5th and so on. Can't remember how many but they had a whole train going. 10 minutes later I couldn't even see their tailights any more. Slowly the CB became quiet again. They probably made Cheyenne before I got to Salt Lake City. Spent the rest of the night wishing I had a large car instead of the cornbinder. Those were good times to be a trucker. Thank you Lord!

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust. If it weren’t for bullhaulers the left lane would rust!

I used to manage the scale at Cargill Foods in High River Alberta, some of the guys said they can cruise at 90 or 100 MPH with no problem. Some of the paint jobs on those trucks were out of this world, from wild horses to the sun setting over the rockies.

"How fast can you get these cattle to us?"

"Yes"

[sararichardson]

Nobody's going to mention how every single one of those peterbilts were sick as f***

When I deployed to Iraq in '05 as a mechanic, we brought our fleet of M915A3s which our master mechanic platoon sergeant had tuned to top 90 mph. We also had tuned our HEMTT wrecker to push 70 mph. Our convoys ran like the wind.

Loved it, 80 to 150 was normal cruse .that old Pete would gate like a fine Tennessee😢 horse at 100.my big old tram with 2000 watts blasting miles ahead the guitar picker is comming through..I'm an old man now.but those were the best days of life I'll never forget, wouldn't have missed it for the world..

Peterbilts and Kenworth is the heartbeat of America.

"I don't know where he came from but with the crew" got me lmao

[RogueTrucking]

That’s real Trucking. No Speedlimiters, driver facing cameras, r-logs or b.s. company policies. Just a bunch of guys running together in a convoy. That’s what it’s about. Great video.
