When you sleep in a reefer, how loud is the noise?

It was just the noise. It may have been that the one's May ran back then were just loud. As other drivers have said, there are quiet one's out there but that wasn't my experience.

Also, as someone pointed out, you'll also find yourself parked next to reefers and the only real option is to move but then who says another reefer won't pull in next to ya.

At that point I just put up with it and put some plugs in but fortunately that doesn't happen very often.

 

Didn't you already bail on a bus ticket they sent you before? What makes you think they'll entertain the idea of buying you another ticket?

 

Give it a shot, but I seriously doubt it. You've made your bed at Central. They know who you are now. You could always call I suppose, I doubt they give you another chance. I sure wouldn't.

My personal opinion is that your feet are too cold to even consider driving a truck yet. Admit it, you missed that bus on purpose. You were afraid to jump in the water. That type of behavior does NOT make a good truck driver. Shippers and Receivers (as well as customers at WalMart, other grocery stores, steel plants, etc.....) DEPEND on you not being afraid to move that barge down the road so they can get their stuff! If you have ANY second thoughts about it before you even try, don't bother.

You ever think about the Army?

 

I'm going to go out on a limb here: A). The company sent you a bus ticket. B). Did you already have an orientation date scheduled? C). If so, are they willing to let you sit in orientation that you may have/may not have missed?

You might want to be careful about setting fire to bridges before you even get there!

 

Lupe, join the Army. Better yet, join my Beloved Marine Corps. You'll learn a LOT at Parris Island. You will never be the same, guaranteed.

 

Not too bad of advice right there. Maybe he could drive a truck for the Army? Civilian contractors that drive trucks in war zones make alot of money. Huge salaries, but I wouldn't touch that at all!

 

I was thinking using a few years in the Army to sort of.... "wake him up", if you know what I mean.

There was nothing screwed up about me that a good boot in my ##### in the Marine Corps couldn't fix.

 

I love the Corps, but I messed up and joined the Navy instead. The whole "waking up" would be the least of Lupe's problems if he/she were ever to join!

 

You have it mixed up. The reefers park in the back row away from everyone. Flatbedders need the pull throughs because of their limited backing experience.
