    Travel trailers and motor homes carry slide outs.

    Modify the flatbed for a slide out to keep the evil reefer away.

    I haul a reefer. A pretty #### loud one, too. I try to be considerate when I enter truck stops. I usually run early mornings into early afternoon, so I tend to have my pick of spots and usually pull nose in if the spot is aimed down a row where nobody could conceivably park behind me. I do this because I know how loud the sound is "outside" the truck. Inside, I don't hear it that much. I also have a little loud generator and it's controlled from the outside. Last thing I want is to wake up sweating because some jerk turned off my generator.

    Now, if I'm running late night and I need to park, and I pull in and the spot is between two flatbedders or dryvans,... screw it, I'm taking the spot and you're just going to have to put up with it.

    This is terrible lets contact our congressmen and senators and get those reefers outlawed. We can live on canned foods, we don't need fresh fruit and veggies, no dairy products (high in calcium), no blood or plasma, meats or eggs, alot of meds have to be refrigerated but we don't need them, even some paper has to be temperture controlled but it's probabley something we can live without after all those inconsiderate drivers and those loud @## reefers are ruining our lives.
