    You guys that run reefers,

    Why is it that on a beautiful 65 degree night, in a truckstop that has ample open spots the guy with the loudest reefer ever built insists on parking right along side of my flatbed when I am in the back row away from everyone?

    I pay for my own fuel and don't idle the truck unless I have to, we need reefer/bullhauler parking on one side of the lot and flats and dry box on the other, lol

    It's the thoughtless driver more than anything. I've always tried to isolate myself or consider others. But sometimes if there is limited parking you have no choice which wasn't your case. Some drivers got the mentality to line up like ducks which they are thinking some but not all the way. Then again he might of thought you were cute and wanted to corner you!


    Even as a reefer driver and parking out in the middle of nowhere for peace and quiet, here would come an high idler with chh, chhh, chhh, chhhhh, chhhh, broke spitter. I'll move if one bothers me while they look at me ????????

    or the #### idiot that feels they have to idle a truck all night when it's 55-65 degrees out.


    Worse than a reefer if you ask me.

    LOL, this happened at FJ lakepoint,Ut last week, I was on a 34 and I was as stated as far from the front door of the TS as possible, reefer backs in aside of me with a reefer that I could of heard from inside the Denny's.

    So I get up, put my pants on and go to the other side of the back row, thinking I will be smart and knowing I am there all day tom. I PULL my truck nose first into the corner stall.

    I'll be ###### if another reefer, albeit a quieter one, ALSO pulls in NOSE FIRST next to me at about 1:00 in the morning. I think I am just going to invest in a good set of ear plugs. lol
