Please be considerate!

Yeah like that's going to ever happen!

 

So when I have my reefer off and the screens in the window, why o why do you non-reefer drivers insist on parking that piece 'o junk hood with a rattlin' noisy Cat next to me? Nothing like trying to get some quiet, and a flatbed or van jerk shows up, runs that crap engine up to full-blast idle, turns on the A/C and I get to listen to that! And the compressor poppin' off every ten minutes. And the belts squealin'...



Oh yeah... I know why. It's called a truckstop. If you want quiet, go park in a field.

 

It's a truckstop; trucks park there. Change jobs; sell vacuum cleaners door to door. If noise from trucks and reefers bother you, you're in the wrong profession.

 

That's why Drivers nose in rather than backing! But again, when i was driving over the road, i could sleep and not be disturb even by a train! would deep sleep because i would drive mostly 750 miles a day rigging the log! by the time i went to sleep, nothing would wake me up! sorry for the log rigging! that was part of the company policy!

 

Well said Chinatown, Like you said (its a truckstop) sell vacuum cleaners.. LOL!! good one!!

 

That's a real good attitude to have.Truck drivers are not a 1 size fitsall. I for 1 am a light sleeper.But then again after 30 years driving I know there are a lot of inconsiderate drivers out here,but I don't go and tell them to get another job!!!!!

 

I try to nose in, whenever I can , and sometimes I'll move , if I can.
There are some inconsiderate people on here , too.

 

I'm a very light sleeper also, probably moreso than you. But I'm sensible and open minded enough to know truckstops can be noisy & I must either accept it or change jobs.

 

I agree 110%. It has everything to do with courtesy AND common sense. I should not have to listen to your excessive noise during my downtime. If the lot's packed-fine, I understand. But when you see my non idleing van parked all by itself in the back 40 - get a clue...I think if this behavior continues the feds are gonna end up regulating parking (segregation anyone?). I'm surprised they haven't done a study the noise variable at truck stops and it's effect on quality sleep.
