    I looked it up on urban dictionary and on this site, is it a trucker who runs a lot of chicken lights? And why are they called chicken lights? Inquiring minds want to know..:biggrin_25525:

    lol 'cause there are so #### many lights on the truck and trailer that you must wonder if they have their head attached or not (crazy). Age old expression: Running around like a chicken with it's head cut off.

    Chicken truck...or chicken lights.

    There's a diff.

    Chicken lights....old school. Run wide open with the lights turned off, whoever turned the lights on first was chicken.

    So they put more running lights on them to help out. Hence the term Chicken Lights.

    Chicken truck, Rooster cruiser. Don't bother with it. You'll most likely be driving a truck that can't get out of it's own way. :yes2557:

    What is really bad, is when you are talking to rocks and dirt. And addressing them as junior, kid, young fella etc!:biggrin_2552::biggrin_25519:
