In cowboy slang, a "chuck-line rider" refers to a cowboy who travels between cow camps to deliver messages, mail, or supplies. Chuck-line riders played a crucial role in communication and logistics within a cattle drive operation, ensuring that information and goods were efficiently relayed between different camps.
