    The 2 worst trucks to have parked next to you imo are a loud reefer or a livestock trailer. Loud reefers are obnoxious and livestock trailers wreak regardless of whether there’s animals in them or not.

    The worst trucks to be parked next to are those hoopties with the busted air release valves that go off like every 30 seconds or so. I’ll gladly sleep next to a reefer on continuous cooling ice cream during a July heatwave in Phoenix, or cows evacuating themselves for 10 hours straight before I sleep next to one of those hunks of junk.

    May just be me, but I'd rather be next to a livestock trailer then have a guy sit on the stool next to me who hasn't been in the tub for awhile.

    Reefers running never bothered me, kinda lulled me to sleep, of course I pulled one so maybe that's why...

    I could be parked (like today) with 15 open spots on either side of me in a huge empty truck stop..Reefer running at-10 continuous (like today) and dry vans and flatbeds will cuddle right up next to me. Never fails!

    Me, I can’t deal with APU’s and relief valves going off every minute. I’ll move as soon as one parks next to me.

    Someone who has a yapping dog. Don't get me wrong I like dogs. I just don't like those little ankle biters that go berserk and bark for 20 minutes straight everytime they see someone walk by.

    Those trucks that have that loud ### wind up at idle about every minute......Peterbilt I think. Definitely not a Detroit.
    Rumble, rumble, rumble, rumble

    Rumble, rumble, rumble.

    I'll move every time
