Americans; I am trying to understand the subtlety and nuance of your expression “to haul ass”.
Does it mean “to hurry”? Or more “to move under strain”?
Or something else?

I feel like in addition to what was said, something or someone which is “hauling ass” seems to tend to be on the larger side categorically? A person who carries a lot of momentum when running (not just cuz they’re fat but could also be with a big pack on) or a larger or louder vehicle. It feels like it comes with an implied “caution!” And not necessarily just because they’re not being cautious as others have said.
