    This really made me want another one. Yep gonna have another, maybe I'm using my smoke to cover the smell of rotten onions coming from your body.

    Oh and I have a bottle for my butts.

    I've always been respectful with my smoking. But now it's got to the point I'm no longer considerate of the non-smoker if I inhabit an area I'm allowed to partake in. Don't like my smoke? Move on. That diesel exhaust killed ya long time ago anyway...

    Why would someone park in a truck stop then complain that reefer trucks are parked there? It's a truck stop! I don't understand the problem!

    I have started to ask all you flatbedders why you parked next to me when there are many other open spots. My reefer is quieter than your air dryer popping off every 30 seconds cause you flatbedders cant seem to fix you #### air leaks. I have also started to ask all of you self important light sleepers why you think it is ok to block up the entrance/exit lanes in a truckstop. Do you think it is quieter to have trucks passing within 6 inches of your sleeper all night than it is to park where you are supposed to?

    Can you tell I'm really sick and tired of all the ######## about where I have to park my reefer. It's a TRUCKSTOP! If you need your tranquil peace and quiet you're IN THE WRONG PROFESSION, so quit your ######## or go flip burgers and be home in you quiet section 8 housing at night. Tired of all the WHINERS!

    I parked my reefer in a truck stop in Georgia. Dozens of parking spaces available. I pick one in the back 40 with no one around me. Some clown hauling a bull dozier parked beside me, then told me I need to turn the reefer off because he needs some sleep. I acted as if he didn't exist which infuriated him. When I got back in my truck and closed the door, he was standing there saying "uh, uh, uh,uh,uh." No, I didn't turn the reefer off, I'm hauling reefer goods; there's a reason a reefer unit is running and only a complete moron can't figure that out.

    I don't have a problem with reefers most of the time. They usually are fairly quiet. If you want noise, get stuck at a huge shipper and sleep in the drop yard. You'll hear trailers clang off and on fifth wheels all night, plus brakes, plus radios, plus loud conversations and yard horses screaming by as fast as they can go.
     
    Chinatown Thanks this.

    Don't like reefers then don't park next to one. If I get to a truck stop and the only spot left is between 2 flatbeds, well sorry. Its a truck stop where all trucks are welcome.

    I've been to shippers who say no smoking on their property and not even in your truck. Thus really doesn't matter to me anyway because I don't smoke.
